Hello Everyone!!!!!!
Okay the time has come my gents!!! (first alittle digression if u will)
I first posted on here "trying" to justify owning a FAKE 16610 LV Greeb Sub. I would like to publicly denounce my actions and sure, it took a while but I learned something about EVERYone that posts here and that is.............. ALL OF U guys are awesome!!! I was so embarrassed by my entrance I gave a fake -Jake- because I was just unsure of fitting in and such. I know it seems silly but I would really like an opportunity to really get to know everyone...... I have always Loved Rolex but my Pride was hurt because I could not afford it! WEll, that was before so I may change my user name because believe me or not (I will post pics ASAP) my AD @ BEN Bridge in Mission Viejo called me 2 days ago and let me know that I was on the "LIST" to have an option to purchase!!!!!! YES!!!!! So tommorrow is when I get it, I paid cash slapped down approx 5300.00 CASH that I saved since that first post!!!!! I am so excited I'm going crazy just thinking about it...... I know I sound cheesy but kindly please forgive my noob, rookie actions the first time around and if you can welcome me to the board. I think I'll be a great addition to this community....... oh, on a side note I'm Jovanni 27, an account manager @ COca-Cola!!! Not rich but hey, we only live once right?!! I am thinking about getting a car and I have a few choices.. Please let me know what you ALL think I value your opinions. M3 or M5 06 Cadillac Cts-v with the LS2- 6.0l liter V8 Honda Accord 6speed coupe ( I know I know!) Gas prices Mercedes Benz 2002 clk55 Take care everyone and look forward to posting everyday! |

Welcome aboard , being so psyched about your watch is too cool.
I've gone through my share of cars. The M3 is a sweet ride but pricy unless you can really push it to appreciate what she can do. Personally, I am driving the Accord Coupe now. Not as exotic as the other, but I have only been back to the dealer ONCE, and that was for an oil change. I really got to know my BMW dealer/service centre. ( I still visit them for my wifes Z3). I was suprised at the mileage the Beemer got. Was quite decent considering. If your tight on cash, reliability is a concern. Nickel & dime repairs drove me bonkers My MINI COOPER was by far the most fun car I've owned, but I had a first generation , and it was riddled with problems ( 17 warranty trips to the dealer) The new ones are supposed to be better. It handled amazingly well, everday was a blast to drive it. Just like the watches, drive each of them, see how they feel, Make a Pros/Cons list. Oh yeah, insurance costs vary as well. Check those out too ( My Mini was about $400 more per year than the BMW, go figure)

thanks for respondin!
Well, whatever car I get I will make sure I get a certified preowned warranty. Mercedes offers a Starmarked warranty, and such. I love the luxury cars like the acura RL, but I also like the power so..... Caddy with a vette engine, honda with 6speed manual but only 240hp (still could turbo it and get it close to a low 13 sec time which is all I want) I have seen M3's go for about 40g's but of course NOT brand new!!! I will leave the deppreciation to the new car buyer!!!! I seriously cannot afford a 50,000 dollar car but I can afford a used one. |
