Buy Mercedez CLS or BMW 7 series.

Considering the cars he listed I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those are out of his price range....

for sure yup---and i'm sticking to the ones listed. probably gonna buy a used one. there is a pretty sweet dealership nearby that has nothing but highend certified used cars. they all come with 5 year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranties. the audi i drove yesterday had 30,000 miles and he wnted $20 grand for it. all of the cars i mentioned, he had on the lot and were all in the $20,000 to $30,000 price range and all had 35,000 or less miles.

the 330's have no leg room at all either...

depending on your needs, i would test drive them all and decide on the performance aspect. and then on the best deals you may be able to get. let me tell you that if you are to get an audi, be ready for expensive fixes and such. as for the BMW, the fixes will also be expensive but not as reoccuring. my vote would go for the lexus if you have 2 kids and need something that is smooth, reliable. but if you want something for yourself, id say audi #1 and then BMW #2...this coming from a teenager that has only owned 2 VWs (which are like audis basically). and my mom who just bought a BMW 325. i like euro cars, and if you can get warrenty, then go for it.

hence your gonna have 3 little ones, i'd look at something with a third row.

coming from someone who has 2bros. non stop eyepoking, "hey you cross the line on this seat im gonna punch you.", and the famous are we there yet?.

Save yourself a headache and get an explorer or an escalade.

Caddys are nice.

not with gas at more than 3 bucks a gallon---i'm sticking with these 4 choices.

Explorers get 18mpg. Esclade I dunno.

My mom has a v6 explorer and it gets 22. There really not that bad. Just driving habits.

I have a Bird = 14mpg. Sucks ***, but I don't look when I'm filling at the pump. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i guess you kinda missed the point of my post----I'M STICKING WITH THESE 4 CHOICES!!!!!

be it for family use i would check on up keep what you can/cant do yourself and average costs of repair. all those are pretty cool cars just get the one that wont kill you in the long run and has the best resale value.

 

[bonesninja 5,000+ posts]

it seems the lex or the BMW has the best resale just going off of ebay prices. i have decided to eliminate the mercedes as the nearest ppl who regularily work on them is more than a hour away. Also, found out today that my girlfriend is NOT pregnant so its just the 2 kids for now.
