My dilemma about current car( opinion needed)

[kyc12340]

Didn't you dump the E55 for fuel consumption driving back and forth to school?

 

 

 

Perhaps only the 250 comes AWD? Idk, I think the 250 is a dog, 350 would be much better. I enjoyed driving the 250 from a sports standpoint, but disliked the total lack of power. I would assume the 350 has the 2GR-FE Toyota 3.5L. I suppose I could look lol.

 

Dumped the E55 for that reason, but at this point I no care about Fuel comcumption.

 

how about the genesis R spec?

 

I love Korean cars, and I think Hyundai did an impressive job, I don't know how much they are though. Havnt seen one yet myself in person

[Trouble Maker]

Thanks for your opinion, Never looked into Acuras, how are their performance?

 

About what you would expect, not super fast straight line but I think quick enough for a daily. The driving dynamics in general are very good and they handle really well. Granted they are a bigish sedan, they aren't going to handle as well as your Vette. I think the TL SH-AWD would surprise most with how quick it is. The RL's are really nice inside and drive very well. I've never been able to drive one in anger, but I would imagine it's not too much slower than the TL SH-AWD in general.

 

S-type R looks interesting though

 

Yup, I know nothing about them but searching around on Edmunds I thought they looked interesting at the price point with you saying you liked British cars.

[SpaceGhost]

I say Man Up and quit being a girl. Get a real problem like addicted to prescription narcotics for the pain then come ask for help.

 

All I am reading here is you shooting down everyone's suggestion. Truth is no car is going to lessen the pain, spend the $$ with a doc not on a car. Maybe call daddy back in Korea and have him ship you a GT2 or a 458, as that is all that seems to be missing from your sig.

That's a good option Thanks Ben;)

The R-Spec is brand new for 2012 and $46k new, so it sounds like it's out of your target price range.

 

A few year old regular V8 (4.6L) Genesis Sedan might be something to look at though, it still has 385hp (versus the R-spec at 5.0L and 429hp).

hmm, Never driven one. Any dealers let me test drive RLs or TLs?

 

Last time I went to Acura Lindsay to test drive their used 2004 M3 with miles , They told me "This e46 M3 is a rare exotic super sports car, therefore we are not allowed to let people test drive this exotic machine, do you even know how to drive this m3?".. :fuuuu:

My car was worth at least 4g more than that m3 though.. I said Fu and left.

I used to drive Jag XKR's and VDP's. Either would fit the bill nicely.

 

Here's an XKR for under 30k:

Clean, one-owner, supercharged 4.2L V-8. They are surpisingly soft, comfortable cars, scaled more for a thin person than a fatty like me. But they move down the road and make a glorious sound. Full wood interior. You'd be limited to automatic, though.

It's a clean car.

[coldsoda]

Just get some fast evo ... I know you have a deep love for turbo awd imports...

Very clean car, he said it might be sold soon. I would have been more interested if it was Dark Gray or black though. had a silver e55, i'm a white/ dark color fan.

My initial plan was to keep the vette, and get a subie for dd. I might stick to my plan if nothing comes up that I like..

[kyc12340]

Doc, thanks for your suggestions, those are some nice cars, but doesn't fit my style I guess.

as far as my car goes, what do you guys think its worth as of today's market (being summer etc)

[Aaron]

The IS350 does come in AWD. It didn't come initially, but they released it later in the models life.

[mseebs]

Vw R32. Could probably pick one up new to almost new for what the vette is worth. Then throw a turbo on it and you got a beast.

 

Though personally I'd shoot for an isf if possible.

[BigOxley]

I'll gib ya 25k for your vette.

[kyc12340]

I'll gib ya 25k for your vette.

 

that's little low so no, but I will consider reasonable offer.

Are you getting rid of your STI?

[thorne]

CTS-V Coupe

[unfunnyryan]

 

P.S: On a side note: My ex-gf from NYC just freaking showed up in Cbus in a Lambo Reventon and looking for a house in UA... She is a doctor and I didn;t know she was that rich..She had a bimmer and a vette at that time.... Fuck yea she told me I could take the car out.

 

where in ua :masturboy:

 

The CTS-V is a good mention. If you can sacrifice sportiness for ultra luxury, get a few year old Equus, if you can even find one.

[Not Brian]

My boss just bought a G8, they're comfortable. Quick little boogers too.

[BigOxley]

Yeah, I know. Lol. No, the STI is being built right now. Making it "CR stock" :gabe:

[kyc12340]

Well if you are seriously interested, we can work out a deal.

 

I thought your car was already built?

Equus is hard to come by, super big.. expensive

In In Korea the top of the line is 100g. 100g Hyundai........

 

I will let you know where in UA once she finalize the house

[10phone2]

since your ex is moving back with a Lambo, I would recommend the following strategy:

1. Bring a house warming gift:

2. Drive Lambo daily to work.

[zeitgeist57]

Sorry to hear about the medical problems!

 

s5? Rs4? S6? All are rare, exclusive, available with manual transmissions. Since they are all VW/Audi, the clutch will be comfortably soft. Plus, they aren't on your previously owned list!
