Default RE: Sold my Accord

SMAGLIK, so the M3 is a really high maintenance car. It actually might be a good fit for me....haha. Maybe I should just get theBMW 545. I don't gotta worry about any snow, I live in Hawaii!
I'm still weighing my options, I'll probably test drive it within the next few months. I also rack up mileage (25,000 miles a year). That's why I got the Accord. So, what I'm thinking is that I should get another daily driven car along with my new car purchase. I might have a few questions later for you.

WheelBrokerAng, I'll definitely be visiting every now and then. The $$$ will besent via PayPal....

sir_nasty, for my criteria....I was thinking of getting a Truck or SUV, but now I'm not sure what I want. That's why I got so many cars on my list. I'll try and narrow it down more by test driving some & reading up on them. I also was thinking of getting a luxury brand car since I've never owned a luxury car before. My Solara is pretty close to luxurysince I got me the Leather Package (and it drives similar to a Lexus). Any other suggestions? I'm selling the car for $6300, to my boss. I gave him a discount just because he's my boss and maybe he'll give me a bigger raise this year[sm=goodidea.gif]I threw in the rims & brand new sound system too!! So, he's getting a deal. I was gonna sell it for more if someone else was to buy it, but I figured what the heck.

sounds like a good tactic... lower the cost hope for a raise! I can tell you from personal experience that I had a 2000 Dodge Durango SLT which was pretty nice but then I got (my wife got I should say...) a 2000 Lexus RX300 and the difference from a nice vehicle to a "true" luxury vehicle is huge.... I've driven/owned Cadillacs, Oldsmobile (luxury line not sport) and as much as I love my accord for performance and handling it just doesn't have some of the nice features/feel of the luxury cars (and I've got the leather/sunroof EX edition....)

Its actually not that high maintenance...just compared to an Accord, almost everything is.

Oh, and the 550i is nice....would be an awesome choice. Close to an M...

My boss already gave me the cash! haha, I told him to hold on to it 'til Saturday, but he said take it before he buys something with it.

sir_nasty, I know what you mean about LUXURY cars. I got to drive my boss's luxury cars/suv's before. I could really tell the difference. He let me pick up my gf with them too!!!

smaglik, the 550 is also really nice. Maybe I should just get the M5! Just kidding, I won't be able to afford that!

I have thought about the M5 down the road, but it would have to be a CPO one, since I wont drop that much on a car. However, since they havent CPO'd any E60 M5s or E64 M6s yet, not sure if it will ever happen.

Ok got it, thanks!

Anyway, I dropped off the Accord at my boss's house this evening. Felt kinda sad because I thought of all the hard work that was put into the car, but at the same time, I felt kinda happy because I'm thinkin'........I'm getting another car!! Even though I sold this car, I might end up getting another one just like it......along with my "Upgrade."

The search begins.......
