Well i am going to be getting a new car, im trading in my car and not sure what i should get, for sure i know a truck is out the question.. gas is to much, and dont want to deal with the problem of a classic car and not working 100% especialy in the hot, so it came down to either a Lexus GS series, or the Mercedes Benz S series, If anyone has suggestions let me know, im stuck on the two, but always been a Lexus fan. Let me know your comments negative and positive.. Thanks

why don't you ask a bunch of teenagers who drive $1000 primered shitboxes that barely run which $40,000 luxury car you should buy....






wait.... :thumbup:

and the Lex., for what it's worth. i worked at a lexus dealership and daddy drives a benzo... would rather have a lexus, however the GS is not the line that competes with the benz S class, i think its the lexus LS:

mercedes in this time had shitty reliability due to financial problems within the daimler-chrystler family (i've read) and you should definately buy a lexus *toyota beause it will treat you much better, ESPECIALLY used.

this is what i thought once i moved really close to school. i live across the street from class and work 2.5 miles down the road. i just cant justify spending cheese on a car anymore.

but then again, if i was a heavy commuter, i wouldnt want to be putting miles on a nice car either... :p

Not really. I think BMW's prices are right in line with everyone elses. The prices get jacked when you go to a dealer or shop to do the work. They see "BMW" and multiply the price by 838342.

Go buy a WRX limited (even used) which comes with full leather, power moonroof, spoiler, and it will run 0-60 in 5.5 stock. For less cash, and it will be faster, dependable, and AWD FTW. That's what I would do. Do what you like, and good luck!

So far I am thinking about going with the tacoma.

My wife and I got an 06 Tacoma Double Cab Prerunner for about a year now and we love it. It gets around 18 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway and the last time I filled it up it took $50 (from empty). Of course I filled it up with Premium at $3.07 a gallon. For what its worth, I would definately recommend a Tacoma to anyone. :tits:

Have you ever towed anything with your tacoma? Do you go offroad with it? I am trying to get a 4x4 TRD offroad but cant find anyone selling a used one. I might just go with a used prerunner or TRD sport.

HELL YES FOR TACOMA'S!!! if your considering a truck, consider no other truck... they tow, they offroad, they do almost anything... the ONLY truck I would consider buying. & a regular 4x4 goes about as many places as a 2wd prerunner with the locker ;)

We havent had the need to really tow anything with it, although it tows my brothers 24' pontoon boat just fine. Our Tacoma is a TRD sport and the only thing that I have ever disliked about it is when the sun hits the hood scoop just right it can be blinding (only happens when the sun is coming up). I refuse to take my tacoma off road (thats why I have my quad) and alot of guys over on customtacos.com have no problem when they take their trucks off roading.

I fail to see the point of a truck if it doesn't go offroad :p

The STI limted is 35k plus, they aren't moving on price as there were only 750 made, the evo is 35 k, same with g35, and the new skyline is supposed to be around 70k when it comes out, check out the story on nissanclub.com
