New Car
 
Need some help or ideas....


I'm looking at getting a new car. I'm thinking about leasing a car with payment no more than roughly $400/month.

2 or 4 door. Sporty type car that has luxury.


Anyone?

imported_viper_2_4 03-Jul-2007 04:09 PM

how much down? (significant factor in lease decisions)...

also lease term...

J-SKI 03-Jul-2007 04:19 PM

Upgrade out of a car if you want change
JEEP SRT8 (or srt 10 whatever, either wasy they are nice)
Down payment would be required for this option though

imported_viper_2_4 03-Jul-2007 04:22 PM

CSX Premium,

2000 Down

$433 a month with tax, 4 year lease...

I'm still pondering this....


Oh, and i'm thinking about a 2-3 year lease with $2-3g's down.

imported_Cablerat 03-Jul-2007 06:37 PM

You want the luxury, you gotta pay.

Just buy a civic and be done with it.

imported_qaz393 03-Jul-2007 09:52 PM

the opposite of sporty is slow as balls

DumbasSi 04-Jul-2007 04:42 AM

So the Audi is a POS afterall. You want a new car I assume? Disregard basically every car mentioned above.

A CSX or maybe an Accord. The 07 Accords are offering some very low interest rates right now to clear them out for the new ones.

Gallagher 04-Jul-2007 08:24 AM

I love the Audi. But I dunno, expensive to maintain.

Got **** loads of weddings n stuff this summer

maybe you should think about what you REALLY need a car for...

imported_bananax 04-Jul-2007 09:14 AM

how about the new 2 door altima? it looks almost the same as a G35 Coupe, but its alot cheaper ;) same motor so check it out

Double_B 04-Jul-2007 09:17 AM

Get a 3 series BMW. The low end with a down payment will run you in that area and all the maintenance is included for 3 or 4 years, so all you have to worry about is the lease payments and gas.

imported_bananax 04-Jul-2007 09:34 AM

HOT IMO

Steve, if maintenance bills worry you, then you are not financially ready for the upgrade. From your old hatch to A4 somewhat proved the theory.

If you want a car that can give you status, power and domination, then you need abundance of money to back you up. If you don't have the source, a car will only drag you down into the deeper financial negativity and at the end, you will lose your status because you have no more money; you will have no power because the car cannot bring you happiness; and you will no longer dominate because you will regret your decision.

For your own good, think this one through.

I think I came across wrong. My car is great on everything, but instead of spending more money to fix this car, I was thinking that a lease with a warranty might be better in the long run because I wont have as many maintenance bills.

Timing belt wont have to be done before the lease is up. All the long run maintenance stuff is hitting me now.

135i has a 300hpTWIN TURBO I6 >_> making 300hp @ 1400rpm? (could be false but thats what was stated)

and it should be in the 30s =)

Gallagher 04-Jul-2007 09:55 AM

What do you think about the A3's?

fancy golf!!! IMO if you are going for a new car, get something NEW to you, so don't get civic, don't get a vw, and don't get an AUDI :P

go for a Nissan/infinity, BMW, toyota/lexus(IS250/350 IS HOT), how about a TL TYPE S? :P or a TSX even etc


^^

$$$$$$$$$


My Audi is so quiet and so smooth!

the LOWEST available A3 starts at 34k I don't even think that's quatro =D

I dunno I'm sort of bias to the Altima, I really like the new one, price and styling are both great, and it comes with a decent choice of motors too,

I would love to get an Audi too, but bank for buck its hard for me to justify =) I have to admit one thing, even the low end audis are pretty luxurious in terms of comfort(maybe not ride but seats etc)

my A3 would cost me the price of a loaded
TL, I guess it's a matter of preference too =) $32k for altima, 46k for A3, or 50k for a TL? then u can say 55k for an is250, 58k for a 335 :P

Gallagher 04-Jul-2007 11:21 AM

$37k roughly for a nice A3

Gallagher 04-Jul-2007 11:27 AM

I'm leaning towards this one tho....

Friend has an A8L , hot car =p

but the S8 is CHEAPER then the A8L W12 =p

yea I don't think the A3 for 37k is that nice, its about 46k with decent options =)

and its not even Quattro to boot, only the 3.2 is ,

http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/experience...262M&year=2007

not bad :D

1 series ftw though =p

The BMW 2002 was a small 2 door car that BMW produced back in the 70's as an entry level car. The new 135i is supposed to be similar.

Double_B 04-Jul-2007 04:04 PM

BMW 323i = 35,600 Sedan

You won't be able to lease a 323i for 400$$ a month with only 2-3grand down.

I work at BMW and have looked into many options.
Plus the 323 is slow as hell.

If I were you (and this is actually what I am doing anyways).
Beginning of next year the 1 series comes out.
128i which will have a 2.8L inline 6 producing 230hp.
Or the 135i which is a 3.0L inline 6 twin turbo.
It has better power to weight ratio then the last M3.
And will do 0-100km/h in around 5 seconds.

And it will be starting at 35000$$.

I have driven a load of the 335i's, which come with the same engine.
And they are crazy fast.
And super super fun to drive.

Anyways if your willing to wait it would be something to check out.
If your around the Upper James area come by Budds and I can find you some info on it.

:wink:

imported_hdave 04-Jul-2007 06:01 PM

^ give us some more info about the 1 series please
and that sounds like a pretty good plan
