Better?

meh, I do hardly ANY maintenance on my japanese cars and they still run like tops. I’ve owned domestics and I can’t say the same about them.

I will gladly take the “risk” to own a much nicer car IMO.

Now that’s a deal right there.

Should make a great daily if you can do your own work.

^dot.
also you can get a higher mileage (65k+) e55 for ~20 if you do your homework…

hmmmm

so I’m not trying to hate, but at what point do these cars start to need timing belts, water pumps, trans maintenance, etc…?

This is pretty badass looking.

It’s not a GM so I’m sure it’s reliable.

this.

im just editing to clarify that when i had my 05 audi s4 i didnt have to replace a single thing on the car for the almost 2 years and 30k of ownership.
i would say that would make for a pretty nice daily for sub 20k.
i loved mine but i love my porsche more…

:tup:

thank you

CTS-V. Are the only criteria that it is fast and reliable? Does it need to haul a certain number of people without them feeling like they are shoved into a sardine can? Do you care if it is AWD/RWD?

CTS-V’s… so hot right now

I am a huge GM hater, but the CTS-V is definitely cool

local…

Full agreement.

All of my cars have been rock solid as well… AS long as you can turn a wrench and search forums, its pretty easy to keep most cars in decent condition…

That M3 that blue eyed posted has the most god awful color interior. I could never own that

It’s just that there is too much red with the exterior color being red. Pair that with an anthricite/gray/white/silver/black exterior and it would look amazing. Also, an M3 would get ass raped with no lube by a CTS-V

for speed, you arent going to beat an e55 for this price… unless you really mod it… scotts is in the 11’s, stock.

cts-v and 335i will be the “newest”, inexpensive, and quick car you can afford, good luck finding an e55 thats 05 or newer for 25k.
