Message: [QUOTE="UConnLen, post: 2266214, member: 819"] Lots of stuff talked about in this thread. The main topic was buying a great car. I've had Lexus GS400, an Infiniti G37XS and a BMW 650ci with SMG tranny. Lexus was very reliable and pretty fast but RWD and bad in snow. The Infiniti (w paddle shifters) and was an AWD car good in the snow, pretty maintenance free and fast enough. The BMW (paddle) was rear wheel drive and not recommended for snow (bought a new Tacoma for winters) and was really expensive to repair (battery $450, water pump $1000, convert.top switch $400). in 2015 I bought a CPO 2014 CPO Audi S4 (paddle, sport diff, carbon fiber inlays, upgraded leather etc) which had a sticker of $61,000 that I bought in June 2015 for $38,900 with 42K miles on it. It is by far the best car I have owned, fun to drive, handles great and with its supercharger is rated 333 HP but in reality has been tested by others at about 400 HP/400 fp. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds w launch control (I never used it LOL). Its great in the snow with a spare set of Nokian WRG3 winter tires that are way better than Blizzaks or any others. The Audi is also expensive to repair though, but more reliable than BMW from what I've seen (my son has a BMW 330i and I bought my granddaughter a CPO Audi A4 in 2013 while in HS. Note that for several years (2009-12 I think) Audi had oil consumption problems and her Audi was rebuilt at 99,000 miles last fall at no cost under the class action lawsuit. Audi was GREAT in handling that for me, but all the high end dealers have great service. Some cars are more expensive than others to repair. [/QUOTE]
