andreguy982374 asked: I am in the market for an used luxury/sport sedan and no doubt about it, my first thought was a BMW 3-series. But then reality sat in and I realized that even though I can probably stretch my budget a little and get one, maintenance would most likely break the bank.
SO, I went down the street to an acura tl. I have found a 2006 TL with 36k miles for about $19,500 fully loaded with Nav and everything (owner is desperate for cash). The catch? Its that gold/tan color which I ****. I have found a couple of similar one but seems like the best deal aside from this one would be an 06 TL with around 35-40k miles for about $20k.
After that I started thinking that maybe I just need to let go of the TL and look at an Altima or Maxima. You can get a 2007-2008 of one of those, fully loaded (except for Nav) for about $20k with around 15k miles.
As you can tell I am indecisive so I need some options. What is the best deal out there for that price? I would really like to own a TL but I feel like I have to get a much older on in order to afford it almost like a BMW. Is that worth it? Or am I better off by putting the luxury off until my next car and getting something like the Altima?
What I value in a car is:
performance – tired of taking forever to merge on the freeway
gadgets – Im a software engineer (tech geek for sure)
comfort – I have a wife and a baby
style – I have always driven shitty, $1500 cars and this is my first “real car”
I basically want something that I comfortable for the daily commute and when I have the family but that is also fun to drive when I am alone enjoying my gadgets.
SOrry for the long post!
Thanks!

275 horsepower this year (an increase of 5), and last year’s five-speed automatic gives way to Toyota’s six-speed unit with a manual-shift mode. The RX 350 gained some weight in the redesign (same basic platform architecture but more luxury gadgets), but we’re told 0-60 times won’t be affected much. Electric power steering assist is new this year, but based on our recent experience with the Toyota Venza, we don’t think this is a bad thing for the RX. “Owners asked for a little bit …

In Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass,’ sequel to the acclaimed ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,’ Alice wonders what’s on the other side of the mirror and goes through to find out. But, when Yasmin Sethi created his chess set based on this, he made us wonder what kind of magic is on the inside of his head, but unlike Alice, we are still left wondering. Wonderful is an understatement when describing his transparent chess set, because this innovative design would impress even David Blaine and Chris Angel. Even professional crowd shockers like them would have had a hard time coming up with a concept this amazing. So what is all the fuss about you say? Well imagine picking up a piece from a group of opaque cylinders, and placing it on square, and then walla! the cylinder becomes transparent, with a pattern inside it. You pick up other cylinders and place them on other squares, and each time they turn transparent upon contact, with each one revealing a pattern within. After a while, you realize that the patterns are the pieces of the game of chess, and then you intuitively arrange the board.

andreguy982374 asked: I worked 2 jobs to pay for school and always drove POS cars. I promised myself that once I graduated (Comp Eng Ba Degree) and got a “real job” Id reward myself with a “real car”. My goal is a 07/08, $25-$30k, low miles, used vehicle under warranty. Performance is important to me as a i love driving stick and controlling the car (AT would be ok still tho) but I also want a comfort and a silent ride when I have my family with me. I’ve always dreamed of having a BMW so the 325/328/330/335i were my first options. I also considered a 5er bc I have a wife and a 1yr daughter but Im only 23 and i thought it might be an “older” car. Anyways, after looking at autotrader some, I started considering the following: Acura TL, G35, TSX/IS250 or Audi A4 (by order of pref). The dilemma for me is between getting a BMW that is pretty basic in terms of options bc of its higher base price but higher performance or go for one of the aforementioned where I can afford to have things such as nav system, bluetooth, heated seats and such (Im a gadget freak too). And if I go for the BMW, is it better to get a 07 335i, 26k mi for $26k or a 08 328i, 13k mi for $27k?
Another point worth mentioning is that Im planning on driving this car for the next 5-6 yrs as it will be a big investment for me (unless I just run into a pile of money between now and then) and Im willing to drive my current junk to the ground and save money if it means getting a worthy car in the end.
Thanks in advance to anyone that actually took the time to read this long post. I appreciate all the input and points of view.
