It looks better in some colors than it does in others. On the street I think it looks low, wide, and mean. Looks off in pictures. IMO.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:48 am My ONLY issue with the Stinger is that I think it looks super awkward. It's proportions are off.

It is showing as a 2019 on the jag website. MSRP shows like $71k... but that's pre-
Also AWD, so you should be good to go for as many seasons/weeks as you want with one.

That’s fair but driving any one of these cars you mentioned for that distance is a maintenance disaster. After 40k miles. $500 oil changes, $2000-3000 maintenance packages every 30k for literally nothing, unless you’re either willing to pay that or DIY. The bmw will also go through tires every 15-20k miles, they are $2000 a set at the dealer. Which would be an annual expense for you.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:17 amI'd like to drive the next car more, but it would still be 12/15k a year probably between travel, CRV, and WFH
Bmw gives you free reign for 3/36 which would be around 3 years of “free” services, MB, allows you to buy maintenance packages up front which are a good deal as they are around 1/2 the price of purchasing the bjs.
Also why are you thinking c63 vs c43? C43 makes a ton of sense in your case, decent mpg, plenty of power, awd and 1/2 the maintenance costs.

I would C43 over this all day long. This is going to be the same rare spark plug fiasco as the Alfa.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 10:19 amHoly fooookkkkApex wrote:

The XF wagon is 2018-2019 only, it has already been discontinued here. Big discounts available on remaining stock because no one wants a wagon/sedan.

Interesting to see what happens with the Alfa.
Also, that the Jag is nearly 20% off sticker before you even walk in the door.

M3 sounds interesting coming from the PF, I would pit it against a 340i or whatever, no need to commute in a race car every day. Same goes for the C43 and the GS350, my neighbour has one and likes it.
I'd also consider the mac daddy LS500 gently used, easily one of the best built cars ever, and pit that against the MB S500. Both truly formidable lux rides.

Autos are like 60% the price, but I guess they're old cars now. I still think of 2010 cars being new, but then I realize they're ten years old.
