So I wanna spend around $15,000 to $20,000. I've narrowed it down to Mid-to late '00's Acura TL, Infiniti G35 and Lexus IS300. I've found a couple real nice IS300's that I like and I'm leaning towards the IS300 because its a Toyota and pretty sharp. I like the looks of the G35's but I'm not sure how dependable they are and I've heard they're a bitch to fix. I really like the TL's, but I'm not sure if I want another Honda. Anybody own any of these or know anything about them?
Go with the Lexus. To me, the G35s are bought by a lot of dorky dudes. The TL...kind of boring. I like Hondas though...but the Lexus is the best option. I have 2 friends with them and they're really happy with them....always have the best customer satisfaction.
I'm surprised to see how reasonably priced they are for a Lexus. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/3617740630.html
I got a buddy with an Audi. He complains about how expensive they are to fix. I am a huge fan of them though.
...why not just get a brand new one these for a few thousand more --> Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T <-- best bang for your buck!
I don't know, I just can't take Hyundai, Kia or Daewoo or any of those types seriously no matter how hard they try.
I like GTI's. But, they I'd feel like I was in high school or something. I'm really sold on the iS 300 or 350.
Yes my Audi is expensive to fix, but I fucking love it. Solid, handles. To each his own...... hope you get what you want and enjoy it......but don't you dare pull up next to me and my V8! I will smoke the fuck out of one of those little rice rockets! Post some pics of what these things look like and I'll give you an honest opinion.
The german vehicles may be ultra nice rides, but they are over engineered to death and very costly to own. The Lexus is nearly a perfect vehicle with a blend of everything one would want in a car.
