ehh that price would get you into a medium-miled '01-03, the 04+ are the one's i'd pick, but i still woulld say the '98-00 look better.

They are paying the rental separate. for the first car i got it was like 45 bucks a day, then the 2nd car was 27.80 a day. so for the rental was about a grand on top of that. and yeah i was expecting this part to be the worst since everything else has been so horrible though them so far. but i was extremely happy for the quick results after the quote for the repairs. Only took them 24 hours to get back to me after the quote was done! a lot better results compared to the rest of there waiting games they've played with me.

Sounds like it is working out...
What do you think you'll be shopping for?

I am thinking possibly a wagon, but i am a power freak and i haven't seen many wagons that float my boat much that have a decent amount of power in my price range. might just end up getting another ls400.

There are the BMW 5 and MB E series wagons. I'd liked the look of those dropped with some wheels. For the money, the Ins. you posted about, the 98+ LS4 would be nice if not an 01 430.

well my plan is to get a decent 6k one and pay taxes/registration so around 6750 or so and spend some on maintenance and put some into savings. I don't like the modify the car all at once, it gives me something to think about for a while before i do it to make sure i do my research on the parts.

so waiting for the adjuster is taking forever. I had to send him recites for my alarm i just had installed and they still haven't gotten back to me on a 2nd quote for my car. in the mean time i've been looking at all possibilities in what i want next. i think i've come to my conclusion of a ls430. will have to dig in my pockets a little bit but it will be worth it. will have to text drive one just to make sure but im fairly positive its what i want. I was looking at wagons and was thinking about the is300 wagon, test drove one today and wasn't satisfied. tried looking at the spare tire, this is where i usually keep my spare tools i use more then a few times a week, and it was like putting a puzzle back together to put the trunk floor back together. that plus a not as smooth ride as i want put me off of that. was looking at bmw's and everyone i trust put me off of those because of high matenice costs. you guys put me off about benz. dont want honda, mazda or any domestic. so that leaves me with lexus. will have to bargain with these guys to get them closer to what im getting back from my car but i think i can do it.
