Audi vs BMW vs Mercedes

[louie]

or which sales is the prettiest???

jialat ,here we go again OTing... Paiseh to TS..but most bros give very good opinions...except bro 116520 suggestions of combining all 3 buy one solid car,and the prettiest salesgirl...

[darth-khips]

yeah.. i agree too.. but seen many 3series which try to achieve the M3-look.. whenever i see a M3 looking car, have this tendency/bad habit to scrutizine the window sills and wheel arch to find out if its the real deal or not..
anyway, what's with a M3? juz dont get it why so many guys are crazy over it.. :P

howdy,

each car you buy comes with a certain expectation and i can say the M3 has matched most of my expectations. had a e36 318 and a e36 325 and e46 m3....as i progress thru each car, i can feel the lineage and the straight 6, RWD etc etc. some of my friends who jump from an Evo onto a M3 will say "whats so fantastic" or "wah lau...no turbo kick, where got shook" etc etc.

in conclusion, the M3 is a car that grows on you, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU USED TO DRIVE. throw in the history of M division, plus mod potential, the lineage etc.

the lastest M3 is a different proposition...small cap V8 with tight V. versus the C63 or RS4, to be frank, it feels slow....but thats topic for another day.

As with watches, buy the ones that your heart calls out to .... unlike watches, flipping cars is a very expensive proposition due to the lau-sai value. If you don't go with your heart, 1-2 years later have to change again ... your wallet really going to hurt.

Oh... my dad "export" the S class after 10 years COE... I think the year was 2003 or 2004... body only worth $5k...

so little meh? The airbag is worth about S$5k

aiya my leg POWER besides walking is bus/MRT and taxis.SC you think i really all the way leg POWER meh..

can be known as BMW (Bus/Walk/Mrt)

anyway,lexus is not bad too.. find it rather understated in spore.. (hope im not confusing u further with a 4th option)

if intro lexus, you are going to suggest is250. which i find has evolved too much into a saloon car. Unlike the previous gen is200.... that car was fun to drive (esp in manual )

With the price of 3 carz ($352k), I rather get one good car.... maybe a M3! On the other hand, what if I meet a GTR????? I think you better stick to choose either C class, 3 series or A4.... don't think of power car, speed kills!

If you want something that is power.... is the R35 GTR Vspec out yet? ... That car confirm has plenty of power :laugh;

[Bluedevil]

My budget is 130k. No M3, GTR etc please.

[seiko.citizen]

IS250 ok? should be within budget. a nice car, if you dont mind the understated "sports" handling.

ha ha ha....sorry ....

nothing wrong with that, nice to see a female interested in cars too. It doesnt happen too often/

Whats with M3? Well.... whats with LV . Afterall its just a bag
Honestly, M3 like AMG (merc), the thrill of owning one will be an experience one will never forget Sadly for myself, i have yet to drive one Im still waiting for that day

[116520]

Bluedevil, get the C class with AMG bodykit...

My budget is 130k. No M3, GTR etc please.

Well... I try very hard not to ask my wife about her bags and shoes as well. Cos I'm just as bad with my hifi, lego. Lucky, can say we have a common ground on watches.

Got 2 other interesting contenders

1. VW Scirocco. But from PI Autosportique. Selling at 102K. 3 years warranty from starblack. Silver color, black leather seats. Interesting car!! But probably paying premium. And better to wait from AD?

2. BMW 120i. Convertible, 4-seater. From 2nd hand dealer. 3 months old only, mileage 2400km only. Black color exterior, red leather seats. Selling at 129K. (Brand new is 145K.)

Headache!!

[116520]

I will not recommend you to get neither one below...

1. Why pay $100k+ for a PI VW? You can get a BNIB VW Beetle for only $60k...

2. This car is "cheap" to buy but expensive to maintain... it is too small for the use of a family car....

Hmm... the more interesting 1 series is the 135. Haven't tried this car... but I would expect a mini-rocket...
