Default Depends on which of your criteria is most important... if it's the reliability, then maybe something

like an '06-07 Accord V6, the EX-L being the top trim spec.

If you're OK with a little older than that or a few more miles, then maybe something like an Infiniti M35x... lots of tech, very good power and AWD

Default Thanks for the thoughts. I have had a few interested parties. I am keeping my price at

$9,500. If it does not sell I will keep the car becaus as you know on a trade I will surely take a bath. I want to wipe out my current loan and maybe go without a car for a while to save some $$$.
THe only other idea I had if the car sells is lease something for 3 yrs the nbuy it out. I don't know if that works out cheaper or not???
You are a wise man Stephen.
How are you feelingare you back to work yet??
How is the Caddy treating you??

Default 04 Altima SE-R? Chyrsler 300C? 07 hyundai Sonata V6?

someone got it up to 147mph running from the cops in florida :-o


and obviously other audi models..the thing that doesnt make sense to any of us tho, is you are giving up your 300hp Wide based/wheel based power sedan and wanting something else with "more rooom and power"? that would only be a wagon/avant...

Default 2006 Saab 9-3

Can be had for $16k or less depending on trim. The 2006 will likely have some warranty left.

Default You are quite welcome...

...did you ever get a trade-in quote from visiting a dealer?

I have a feeling I know what they would offer, and it's not a pleasant number to the brain, nor would it be worthwhile doing.

I am doing okay...have my good moments, and my bad...mostly due to the medication I am on.

Would you believe that I have not driven the Caddy since after the first week of bringing it home?

Default No I have not gone to a dealer to check on the trade value--I think I would be sick..

right in front of the salesmen's desk. We all have good days and bad days. If you want I am off on Wed. I can come by and drive you around to do your errands in the caddy : )
Someone here posted the infiniti m35x it is not too far out of my price range for a 2006. What are your thoughts on that car. Sorry to be a pain in the ***,but I would like to narrow down my choices.

Default No trouble at all John..

...I like the M35x. A previous neighbor of mine got one back in '06. I looked at those (as well as the G35x) when I was shopping.

Nice cars, they age pretty decently, a bargain now compared to their price new. They come nicely equipped.

You are welcome to come by any time..but you get co-pilots seat
