Puder... Biener has a nice navy/black S4 right out front.
Salesman told me they are having good programs(lease) on them for the 1st time since the models release.
They also have some older turbo s4s.

I drove an 05 TT quato with the big motor a few weeks ago. Not crazy about the styling, but the handing was impresive. I didn't drive it but the S4 looked cool.

AUDI has the best warrantee in the business .. Although they do have some gremlins , considering the amount of options these cars come standard with their pretty reliable ..

My wife loves her Saab 9-3 Aero convertible. It is probably the finest new car we have ever bought. It is very comfortable and goes like a bat out of Hades. I know it will do over 140 and feels more stable than the 95 Vette we had.

Thats the thing there are so many ,used or new cars out on todays market it's very hard to find That PERFECT CAR,Good luck on finding one. They are all over down here. I, would go new/ used very low miles,something someone had to un load.

It take's a litle work but you can save a bunch of cash on a new/used car! Good Luck!
Hey how about a gas sucking hemi. :drink:

Did you mean (w)hores or are you spelling like PUDER ?

Re: new cars???
 
I just picked up a used CLK 430 and love the thing. You can probably get a nice 2003-ish CLK500 within your price range. I just drove my buddy's 2003 M5 last week, and that thing is a BLAST to drive.
Nice thing about the benz......they are so damn overbuilt......even my old 88 300e impressed me....every thing i took apart, i just said WOW when i saw how well built and thought out it was..

I second that one my wife has a 2000 Lincoln ls v8 drives great and I love pissing off my neighbor with a 545 bmw because i can loose him in the curves or on a straight away. be sure and get the performance suspension package.

I love that car... It looks so sophisticated. Have you had any problems with it?

The newest Motor Trend has a bake off between the new M5 V-10 and the Benz E55. The E55 is slightly faster, but other than that the M5 smoked it in all other categories. Great article.The new 7 speed transmission in the M5 can crank off shifts in 65 milliseconds. Not sure I can blink that fast.

Any idea how much $$$ for the 2005 M5 ? My guess is it got the Mercedes in handling with no problem .

I've been trying to find a chip to boost the HP in my E55 with no luck...anyone know where to get one ??

Thanks.......

new 05 m5 will be 85-90 depending on options, gas guzzler etc..

MT has it estimated the new M5 at 82K, I think Sean is right on at 85K plus. The BMW did shine on the handling. The new V-10 is getting 500hp, but only 384 lbs of torque compared to the E55 AMG having 469 horses and 516 lbs of torque.
