CPO Mercedes E class. Unlimited mileage warranty with the CPO program. A little negotiation gets to right at the budget.

maybe.  It’s the slime of the overlords that bothers me.  The unions negotiate what is best for the union first, best for PR second and somewhere near 10th place, best for the worker. Speaking in gross generalities here, of course. 

dang.  that sucks.  glad the decision went your way.  

you just quoted every Union negotiator in the last 30 years.

Yes, because never has a vetted press release gone bad. I bet you can’t think of one single example in which a company’s advertising campaign, vetted by hundreds or thousands of people, totally missed the mark and caused irreparable damage to the company. Vetting solves everything.

you all bought the wrong bmw. My E38 spends endless months cruising up and down the freeways keeping me safe and wrapped in quiet on my daily commute.

I need....

link to article?  I’d like to read that!  I have a 2500 that is wanting for something special like this!

We had a Cayenne S for a few years. It was legit surprising how well that nearly 6,000# beast handled. I’m not telling you it’s a go cart, but it was way more competent than you are giving it credit for. On ramps, off ramps, mountain roads, twisties etc were all truly enjoyable in the big-ass SUV. I went from a…

While I’ve never been a “G” family fan, the M and the FX are stellar choices. I think time will prove the FX to be the third most reliable 2000's SUV available (04-08 was first gen). The 4 runner will likely be first with the Land Cruiser second, then the FX.

Travistech22- You may be forgetting the perfect answer to your needs. 2007 / 2008 Infiniti FX35 (maybe even a 45?) can be had in your price range. They have about 300hp, they fit 4 nicely, they have haulability and they are as close as you could get at the time to a wagon without being a wagon. They styling wasn’t for…

Kudos Mack. Adjusting to changes and altering your personal approach to life based on your experiences and the teachings of others is a great sign of maturity. Things may seem rosy when they get put to “paper” as it were, but sometimes a helpful unknown can come along to show you (VERY POLITELY I might add) a…

You have just ruined my entire week. Never have I ever seen one of these before. To make matters worse, dark blue is my favorite sedan color. And, wow, this car is magnificent! I don’t know what to do with myself. I want to go to the bank and take out the cash right now and go find wherever this car is and buy it.…

I’ll take the blue wagon. You can have the LMP.

There is one correct wheel for this car, but my photoshop skills are severely inebriated at the moment (and for the rest of my days). Will someone humor me and fix this horrible mistake? This is, after all, a BMW.

Andrew- Here is your chance for a near as you may find to new Prelude! Right down the street from my house. A claimed under 40K miles!

completely agree. Dakotas of this vintage are the best buy in pick ups right now. I have a 2001 R/T with a 5.9 that I’ve had for nearly 5 years with almost no problems. Blown radiator hose, a brake job, and that is about it! Leaks a little oil, but nothing to worry about.

COOL! Without asking for details, are you managing a successful enterprise at this point?

Does a lease have that much impact on credit? I know I have coached some to use a car loan as a way to improve (non-existent) credit, but I never thought of a lease as the same tool.

are you compensated on a percentage basis of purchase price? Or savings to the buyer? or flat fee? Just wondering how it works. I realize this is a pay for service, and that in and of itself is worth it for many people. If you save $1,000 on the purchase price and charge $1,000 for your service, it is basically…
