SO it's about that time I'm thinking to potentially trade this car in for something newer. The thought creeped into my head on Friday when I called my credit union to find out the payoff and it was higher (and the pay off date was much farther away) than I had thought it was. As of right now, it's worth a few thousand more than what I owe on it, and it just hit 120,000 miles. I have a feeling that's not going to be the case for much longer, and I don't really want to risk having something expensive break down the line.
A few ideas floating through my head, and I as always welcome your feedback:
- New gen Cadillac CTS (3.6 direct injected is the model I'd look at)
- IS350
- G37-S (one of the only Infinitis I don't think looks like a girly car, SWEET freakin engine, AWFUL on gas mileage is my big complaint)
- Acura MDX (still way pricey on the used market for low mileage)
My only requirements are that it needs to have equal amenities to my TL-S (navi, backup camera, etc.), would prefer RWD now, and maybe a little more power out of the box. That's pretty much it. Also not interested really in any German cars, unless you can make a REALLY good argument as to why it's not going to self-destruct on me and cost a lot to fix.
Readygo!
