Option 1 has the sucky seats
Option 3 is a whole lotta' car and might be overkill

But what color is melange? If not option 3, then probably option 2 for sure.

and a car you'll surely love!

Always like the S6 but S8! The S8 is bad@ss but not in that color only Black is the correct color. I would go find an black S8 fully loaded. Then put some dubs on it and go pimpin!

plus it leaves you open to continally add 'mods' to meet the bar set by the other car. I'll take a future of fun mod expenses over mechanical maybes.

You'll have almost 3g in your pocket to start doing those things given you can talk em down to 46. Sport seats: check (now you have two interior sets to go with your two tire sets), navigation: check.

See? I'm already prioritizing for you...

This car is someone from the OT forums and u know as much as I do, that people mod their cars when they find this forum(case in point).

Cars which has been modded has a higher chance of having that car driven harder. From the sound of it, the first option is some doctor who likes power and hates driving harsh(Read: Sunday drive and old grandmas who doesn't drive it hard). He even opted for the comfy seats!! How hard do you think this person drive this car.

A car driven lightly is the next closest thing to having a new car.

And option 3, cuz its just plain SWEET! If it was me, I take the S8 out of everything, but I think for you, your looking for a 6. :)

Plus, you might get a set of comfy seats for your house to chill in :)

babies his car... it's in very good hands.. I purchased his Canon EOS 10D and it is like a brand new camera.. it is a true testament of how he treats his toys. If anything.. Option 2 is the most trustworthy =)

Plus, he opted for the additional oil changes, where as the normal maintenance is for oil changes every 10,000 miles, he gets it ever 5,000 miles w/ synthetic oil.

FOR $45,000 w/ 13,000 miles!!!! Uh oh....

but you cant lose with any of em. S8 would be sweet on the rarity factor.

Like you've said before, you like the real seats, etc. Get what you want, the expense will be worth it in the end

go the fukc down there and pick that bitch up! i'm sure SW could get you down there cheap. the difference in price would more than make up for the difference. then you could drive it back! get going already!

is checking out the car on Thursday, if I get the thumbs up and the deal goes through, I'll prolly be picking it up when I'm done in CA for Dubwars. =)

i will bet money that that's the car you end up getting.

I'll even let you drive it.. ON ONE CONDITION.. that i'm in the car as well.

right up there with E55 an CL600. get it soon... i'm outa here for good in 30 days...sigh. Are they tip or 6 speed? anyhoo, can hardly wait to see it!

Maybe you should ask Kyle for a ride? Your old ride can be jacked up very nicely!
