I've been browsing for a new car for awhile or looking for a good deal. There is a Lexus near me a 99 with 50k on her and i might stop by and check it out. Only downside it's black and i hate black cars but the RXdrives really nice to me. One thing that i'm not a fan of of gas mileage on it kind of poor imo 19c/22h. I'm just thinking winter is coming up and an RX would be great for NE winters, awd suv fully loaded etc... __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 08-02-2007, 01:15 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: The Netherlands Posts: 33 | It's a nice car, but my opinion with cars, and basically with everything, is: Don't buy it if you even have the slightest doubt. It'll make you regret the purchase further down the road, thinking "why didnt i buy the color that i wanted?"

For winter driving, I would look at reviews for the best traction control setup/best winter performance, whether it be a 4x4 pickup or an AWD SUV. Look into options of switching between 2WD and 4WD. My dad's 99 ML320 is AWD, it would have been nice if you could switch into 2WD when AWD isn't necessary. But in 1 ft of snow it's amazing fish tailing and the car recovering itself was sweet. __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .

I've seen quite a few audi 2.8 quattros for sale with 60-70k on them for under 8k. They are 98-99's but with low miles and 5spds I'm likeing them. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 08-02-2007, 08:15 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: TX Posts: 140 | Subaru AWD? A bit hard-to-find around here, but maybe there are more in your area.. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
