Looking for a nice new car. What should I get?
 

Im looking for a new car for my wife. Looking for lomething nice.. But not too nice! Did I mention it was for my wife? lol.

I was eyeing the Lexus IS 300, The Mitsubitshi Galant GTZ, BMW 3 series, Or Benz C class.

Naturally I am really looking at the GTZ for her, and picking up one of the others for myself next year!! We both agree no accords, or camarys, cause every bastard has one. Passats are too spendy for the car, an I dont want too spend much unless it is for something with a good name.. Did I mention it was for my wife?

So no Prowler, Corvette, Viper reconmendations. Those are for me when I wanna replace my Vette.

Whats good out there?

With the economy going down the toilet fast should I wait till late summer to buy one on a good deal or is there gunna be a difference by then in financing and rebates and stuff?

Latest news is that the economy is gonna recover towards the end of this year, so you might wanna consider a summer purchase http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

boneprone if i was you Bone i would get the X5 my brother has one , i wanted to get one but like you say the economy slowing down really makes me think about paying 800+ for a car ;-)

BMW 330xi. Manual transmission.
I'm not a fan of the 3 series "sport" steering wheels, so I would avoid the 2 door models.

Porsche Boxster (thumbs up)

Lexus is just toyota +$5000 (blah)

Some of those mercedes (kompressor) look really nice (CLK-320 ? )

For an SUV, those things handle really well at 110mph.

Bone,

Just anything but a SUV. As a Los Angeleno, I hate those fuckers, Everyone has one. Can't see over them on the road. Gas guzzlin' environmental hazards! Hate 'em with a passion. These city folk have no reason to have one except to make me pull over on narrow streets to let their arrogant, monstrous, useless vehicles pass by me without wiping me out.

Anything but a SUV http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif I implore you http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

doesnt she already have a nice Big-Rig?

nahh she has a bus pass right now..
Haa!

I was looking at suv's but shit, shes all triped out on the latest hype on em tipping over and stuff.

BMW makes an suv? Dam..... That sounds ugly!

If you live in the city, I would recommend an SUV. They're good for cutting people off, and they tip real easy. Plus you get two parking spaces where ever you go. Here in LA, parking can be scarce so that's a big bonus. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif LOL

No, actually I hate them. SUV owners just love to play "hogs of the road." Bastards!

Didn't you mention once that your wife was a truck driver? So buy her a truck. I think Peterbilt is running a sale this week.

BMW Suv looks nice

by her a bus pass

Those do look nice, but I dont want her to look older than she is.. Give her that, and she will start thinking mom, which means kids, which means I will go nuts cause im not ready..

Bus pass is sounding good about now,

I tipped 5 bucks for a 10.95 hair cut today..
Too much?

Damn, Let me cut your hair next time http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif (thats my second trade) Ok Bone,, think of this~~~> A brand new candy apple red PT Cruizer (sigh) I drive a hopped up v8 dodge durango...But I may have to go for the cruizer soon

I hate any cars, too dangerous with all those SUV's around.Buy her truck,SUV or minivan.

I was told not to buy a pt cruiser, cause they are coming with a new look for 2002.

5 bucks too much for the haircut tip?

depends, How'd you like the haircut? five bucks said you liked it http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

heres a beauty

You know what my dream car is? A 94 Ford Probe, teal green with spoiler and auto moon roof...

Ya'll are talkin about BMW's and shit...God i feel soooo poor! http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif *whimper*

How can you guys afford something so expensive? Is there a secret I am missing out on ? lol

didn't you have 100 post thread on how much you tip for a haircut?

Chrysler Roadster on that great purple metallic with cragars!

Damn That Lincoln LS is DA BOMB..
Ive always liked that car.. Ive liked it alot.
It was Road and Tracks car of the year a year or so back.

But they are spendy is the only thing.. With the amount they ask you could go Benz, Lexus, Or BMW, not that they are better cars, because that Lincon is the best in its class, but becuse of name recognition alone, the BMW, Lexus, and Benz are more appealing.

Don't be cheap, stump up for the new Lex SC430 drop top. If she leaves you you can keep the car and use it to pick up a new chick.

Don't get a car that's too big because, like you said, your wife will start thinking about having kids.(trust me people I know his wife.)

------------------

Get her a 2-door Lexus 96 or newer; good quality, sporty with just a hint of luxury. Too small for kids and too nice for her too complain.

------------------

Is got to be a BMW 3 series, nothing else in this price range makes the same lasting statement.

If you're going to get an LS, wait for 2003 (especially if you're getting an automatic)

First off, a prowler is not worthy enough to be in the same sentence as vettes n vipers!

if you go for a 96 2 door lex like dank said.. get the sc400 and bring it here to chicago to add some 'kiCk' to it.. i own a modification shop.. the project my crew has been working on right now is customizing and tweaking a 95 supra twin turbo engine and custom fitting it into the sc400.. giving it a 0-60 in about 4 http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/biggrin.gif gotta love speed chief! but you'll probably end up driving it more than wifey

Actually the best thing to do is rent them...test drive each one and youll find one you enjoy!!!

TRY THE KOMPRESSOR...best car i ever had..

acer-
looks like you've copied someone with that conversion http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

drop me an email at [email protected]
my business partner has a sc400 and wants someone to add some stillen bolt on parts for him.

yea brian, my buddy spends 6 months out of the year in japan and was the one that told me that dealerships over there offer that TT upgrade with the old sc400's so we thought why the hell not and try it ourselves http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

Wich one did you end up buying?

yes they do and they are great!
i actually have the X3 with a premium package, AWD and the ride is niiiiice!

Go for a lexus! Cool as hell.

You should get one off ebay too, with like 50 miles on it. Save ya about 7grand

I have a Jaguar X-Type that I bought over the BMW 330. Just more my style with similar power and AWD.

:1orglaugh - I just noticed the date on this fucking thread.

He's had a few cars since then I'm sure.

thats funny .. i was wondering how he didn't know BMW had an SUV ..lol it was just coming out i think in 2001 ..lol

the bmw 335 is the best 3-series out there. until the new m3 comes out of course.

Audi's are nice too.

damnit, i didnt realize this was an old thread. lol

they should have a color coding system for old threads.

yeah, stupid fucking bumps

Doooont even think about the new c-class. Its the biggest crap car in the world. It looks like crap, it drives like crap and its build for crap ppl.

LOL :) funny bump ftw

VW Beetle is a cool chick car, and it is crash tested safe too.

thats true, i love the VW beetles, they rock!
