i thought the 3.2 engine in the TL wasnt that solid..

 

[CrackRabbit]

of those 3 I would go with the Lexus. The Acura has transmission issues and I dont know much about the Inifiniti....

Do you really have to drive a "luxury" brand?

No, it just so happens that these are 3 of the cars I'm interested in purchasing within the next couple of days.

I thought you just bought an I30 last year
I'll go ES300 or QX4. Both should be very reliable. Check which one is cheaper to insure too.

 

[sniperruff]

personally i'd spend a bit more for a TL with lower miles

TL for the style and the performance (?)
lexus for the reliability and comfort
QX4 if you need a SUV. otherwise i'd avoid it... isn't pretty much a pathfinder with nice rims? think of the fuel economy...

i'd pick the TL. it's newer, plus it's not as boring as the ES, and not as slow as the QX4.

I totalled it last weekend =(

I would rather have a newer car with warranty. Why drive intro luxury with 100k on it? When something goes wrong, it will be expensive.

These are pseudo-luxury.... ES300 = same parts as a Camry, QX4 = same parts as a Pathfinder.... 3.2TL = not sure, but someone said it's based on an Accord?

The TL has tranny problems that like to appear at 100k miles. Be forewarned.

The ES300 is nice but boring, the QX4 is an SUV without a lot of power (pre-VQ).
I'd look into other cars.

 

[Aimster]

1997 Nissan Maxima SE - ALL OPTIONS.
Same as your previous car, just a little more sporty...

From that list:
3.2TL

 

[ElFenix]

maybe i'm just not retarded, but those don't seem like good choices

I concur. I passed up a nice deal on a car when I was searching a few months back, because I just don't like the white car thing.

I voted for the Lexus, but I probably don't know enough about any of those cars to be voting, lol...

Yeah I know, and every one else knows that on the road, so who are you trying to impress? Just buy a boring camry or maxima with leather and wood trim and save some cash.

 

Nissan Maxima SE. Thread = over.
