No HID is a trivial reason to rule out a car. Just buy some cheap DDMTuning HIDs and throw them in the halogen housings. Yes, there is some glare, no you won’t get flashed so long as you stick with 4300-5k bulbs and aim the headlights a bit lower. $60 and done. Worked great on the Saturn / Camry / Corolla.

Edit - and the 2015 S60 does come with Active Xeon lighting as part of the technology package

Here is one that has the package

Even if you don’t buy one with the pack I’m sure you could pretty easily retrofit the OEM lights.

Awesome thanks, it looks like a lot of the maybe 2014s? came with just halogens. If you followed my saga with the Canyon, dealing with retrofits or LED bulbs is not something I want to do again and they are a must on my car ownership list. Good to know the '15s with the tech package give me the upgraded headlights!

Lee and his headlights are like Mike's ex-wife and her seat memory.

I’m gonna throw one other suggestion out just because they are a screaming deal (if only slightly above your price range for a CPO...)

[Image: eb744953e0806c9e8ec935338323b931.png]

20g for a RWD V8 sedan with a killer CPO warranty and all the tech you could ever imagine. You just have to get past the badge.

What the heck is that? Did they make those for Korean gangsters?

It’s more interesting than an Accord is what it is. Hyundai Genesis is also a strong candidate IMO. Just avoid the early 5.0 motors.

My interpretation is this vehicle is for Lee. There's approximately a 4% chance he buys a five year old Japanese car to preserve his budget.

What was wrong with the CX-5?

That is the only car they have at the moment I think.

I see this theoretical 17g budget getting tripled and you ending up in a Lexus SUV. Without HIDs.

Yeah... and the CX-5 is also pretty shit for infant car seats, depending on the model seat you have.

Yerp, nothing wrong with the CX-5.  That thing is getting driven into the ground.  Looking for 2nd vehicle
Something like this would be ideal:

Have you considered a requirement that it not look like it was ripped from a transformer movie?

RE: Help Me Buy A Car Thread v.ScottyB: WITNESS ME BROTHERS - CaptainHenreh - 09-24-2018

If you're in for a GS, why not an LS?

No way you would ever buy a car with 100k miles, Japanese or not.
