If you had xxxxx to spend on a car, what would you do?
Would you get for example a top of the line 300 series BMW w. all goodies, or a basic 500 series BMW for your money???

...and w. all goodies I mean from tyres up!

Smaller car with all the goodies. I mean, you can fit 5 people in a smaller car anyway, so why not get something fully loaded?

Well, for me it's not the amount of goodies, it's WHAT the goodies are.

My car:
No cruise control
manual windows
manual door locks
rear ABS only
Manual transmission (could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it)
Heavy duty cooling
Tow package
Tire+handling package
4.7 V8
Base 4 speaker stereo (deck was replace w/ an MP3 player within a month, as planned)

My last car had power windows and door locks, and it was good for a 4 door, I don't need them for a 2 door. And if I don't use it, it's just something that can break. For me, it was worth waiting 8 weeks, and I kept the price under $20k.

:) nah, I'm actually looking to get a new company car. The old one is now 3 years old/ end of lease.
I only have a limit on what it can cost... Just cannot decide what to start looking for.

You are getting a BMW for a company car?
My company gives out Solara's and are now switching to the Pontiac G6.
