I knew they were going to be high end..lol

I should have listened to my mother and stayed in school..

[JimmySidewalk]

As an european who sees these cars on a daily basis, i'd say go with the audi. You'll understand why once you hop into it and take it for a spin.

[Armykid93]

you slagging my scooby?lol

you wouldnt if you had one that sounded like this

lol, i wish i stayed in school. I just always hustle at my jobs, always move up and always realize if its a dead end place and get the fvck out. I dont let a job use me anymore. I use them, i take what i can get from them. if its just a job title, some new experience to add to my resume to get a better gig next time. Most business arent loyal to their workers anymore. THey will get rid of you and not think twice. So i do the opposite i drop them when they cant do more for me

Well, you must be doing something right. It sure must be nice to drive a luxury car - ive never owned one. But on the flip side, those type of cars aren't really practical for a guy like me. Im in the bush more often that not, except the winter. But even then, my 4 wheel drive is nice to have when im flying across the frozen lake to get to my favorite walleye hole.

But if i had to choose something used and affordable, i think those Audi's are pretty slick.

And wat the hell is wrong with a good 4x4?

[lovbyts]

And wat the hell is wrong with a good 4x4?

Hopefully nothing. 3 of the 4 cars I have are 4x4
OK 2 are AWD and one is 4x4.

[BG]

the only issue i have to look into that is a concern to me is the warranty on a c63. Since i will have to get a used 1. I remember hearing a while ago that there isnt extended warranties on amg's.

Then I would stay clear for sure. Tough to drop a bunch of money and have no warranty on an expensive car to repair.

Dang man name those off for me. I love cars

[gixxerboy1]

nothing if you live where it snows or are a farmer

he has a 3000gt vr4 all done up

[RaginCajun]

i am in the market as well gixx

i have a friend who just purcahsed one of the new 335is, and it is a bad ass machine, very nice.

i have never driven in any of the Merc's but i can imagine that it is similar to all the other higher end vehicles.

i agree with BG about the warranty

[diesel101]

Had to love the mullet in the day Lunk!We all looked like a a bunch Billy Ray Cirus clones.

I will be selling a 1999 Porsche 911 (996 C2) in a few weeks. Just sayin'.

damn JV, that if that is the pic of your car, then damn son that is fine!

[JohnnyVegas]

That is my wife's car, actually.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but you said you were looking for a car and this one has more style than you can find anywhere else in its price range...around $18k.

[DCI]

Audi's are hideous to drive and to sit in also, I think they make their seats out of solid foam. C63 is what I'd be getting if I was you. Proper straightline speed and that immense sound track and to be fair they do look great.

Or as JV said a 996 Porsche would great. Even the normal 3.6's with the factory turbo kits look great. Or if you can strech to a turbo model, about 5-10k will get you a 600bhp car no problem and with stealth looks especially in black. What about a E39 M5? With a supercharger kit? They are brilliant cars and imo the last of the M5's you can run without having a manager on speed dial when something breaks on them.

[Perseverance1]

Does nobody like Maseratis? They are the best used luxury cars to buy...because they hold their value the worst. If I go back to the states next year for work I'm going to get an '04-'05...they really are quite cheap, whether you get a coupe or 4door. At least, they are cheap for your price range.

The maint costs are about 3-5k a year though FYI.

Stupid Ferrari maintenance.

[Perseverance1]

I know ;(

That shit will KILL me since I will make substantially less money in the states than I do overseas....no more biannual vacations for me for a while

[JohnnyVegas]

Yeah, I could probably take more vacations if my car maintenance/upgrade budget was cut. That is one of the reasons we just sold one car and will be selling the Porsche soon. Maintenance on two cars gone, plus one car payment, plus insurance on two cars.

You pay Ferrari maintenance on a Maserati, but I want an Audi R8 so I can pay Lambo maintenance. Heh.

[HitIt]

I think gixxer would look dapper in a leaf!

Well at least we can be stupid together....hah

Oh well, maybe it will actually motivate me to work hard and get promoted....

Gixx......have you decided anything yet?

i got to look into the warranty issue on a c63, and still need to drive the s5. i think its either one of them over the 335. Honestly everyone has one, its a fun car to drive but its like a minivan around here the more i think of it and i already have a 3 series so i would like a little change

Can I get you to pay the maint costs on my car when I am back in America? I'll uhh...do some stuff for you in return...Shol'va can elaborate via PM

[dan991]

I had a C63... 2010. Honestly the biggest bang for the buck but definitely get the ECU flashed.

Today I have an 991S and a Grand Cherokee for the snow days. For a fun every day driver- C63 hands down even over my 991.

[dan991]

As an european who sees these cars on a daily basis, i'd say go with the audi. You'll understand why once you hop into it and take it for a spin.

Yea- you'll have a VW with nicer leather and still no balls. I've driven all the Audi's including RS line and they are all cars for women. I'd spend $60K on a Cayman S before I bought an Audi of any kind.

the s5 is supposed to have some balls and the ecu adds alot more. The new super charged motor is alot better then the v8.
i've driven the cayman s. I wasnt impressed.

[dan991]

Before anyone starts talking shit..... I want you to meet my bitches.... These are my old hoes.... I'll post a pic of my new toy shortly. I have a car fetish....

[dan991]

New hoe.....

[dan991]

The S5 is meh.... looks faster than it is. It has a decent ride but I guess it depends what you do with it. I actually track my cars so I'd take a Cayman S or Cayman R over pretty much any other car under $60K. But again... if you're going shopping and stuff with it... get a C63 because its untouchable by anything else in that price range.

yea, its will be my daily driver, back and forth to work, running around, going out. And of course screwing around once in a while. It will never see a track.

Trust me.. C63. You'll be smiling every time you get out of it. The bad part to the C63 is that it eats tires... BAD. Every 2K-3K miles I needed new rear tires and that's not from driving like an ass a lot either. It literally eats up rear tires and the most I got was like 3200 miles before I was down to the cord. Other than that- no complaints and I miss that car. I was thinking about getting a Black Series C63 until I saw what they wanted for them. Try to find one with the Performance Package on it if you can... world of difference in suspension.

[kaptainkeezy04]

as an owner of a 335i, i can tell you that my car is fun as hell, but the repairs add up. I haven't looked much into how reliable Audi's are, but they sure are pretty.

i had a c55 before, it was the same on tires.

This is what I have now, love it. I use to own a 2009 slk300 also until I traded it in for the 2012. The amount of looks it gets in unbelievable, hardtop convertible with a sunroof. You should look into that if you like roadsters for a fairly cheap price.

they are nice looking, but i agree its a girls car.
Plus my wife would never get in a convertible with the top down. She wont even use the sunroof in her car

[Knockout_Power]

S5 is a giant waste of time, if you liked the E55 (absolutely loved mine) then the e63 is the way to go which is where I am now.

335 is kind of a step backwards from the other 2, but with less than $5k it can be much quicker, but then you just have an expensive 3 series
