Ideas for a used car under $25K with nice options and reliability? I keep coming back to an Acura TL, Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES 350 and RX 350. I am in a rut on this car search.

I want to be able to drive this thing for 5 - 7 years or so.

I used to have an Avalon and it was almost exactly like a Lexus except for the thermostat wasn't digital. Absolutely loved it. Would drive another when I have to drive again.

Leather is so awesome.

It looks so disgusting after a few years. When new its great though.

I will never buy a car without leather or heated seats

star seed 7 · « **Reply #281 on:** August 21, 2014, 04:44:50 PM »

Also auto lights, and that auto seat thing that pulls it all the way back when you remove the key

Never had one but I'm open to the idea.

You know what sucks? Chevy keyfobs. They are rough ridin' huge wtf.

Also the Ford keys that have the fob thing integrated into the key, you're too big key! Calm down!

I don't know what other cars use

My neighbor has three cars and all are convertibles. One looks like the one Dylan drove in 90210. The back opens up weird. Here is a picture, what kind is it?

star seed 7 · « **Reply #290 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:32:26 PM »

i don't know what kind of car that is but what is with the dirt pile and overgrown weeds and stuff

steve dave · « **Reply #291 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:34:17 PM »

He's got an empty lot next to his house filled with construction debris. If I pan down there is a dirt bike ramp some kids made.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #292 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:35:41 PM »

dirt bike ramp sounds fun

do you have a basketball goal yet?

steve dave · « **Reply #294 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:38:21 PM »

No, I don't believe in driveway goals because driveways aren't flat. Throws my shot off. I'd be open to a backyard slab at some point.

Spracne · « **Reply #295 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:40:39 PM »

Not a very big fan of driveway recreation in general, to be honest.

slobber · « **Reply #296 on:** August 23, 2014, 04:34:52 PM »

I had the bids and hoa approvals for a backyard patio/bball court, but then soccer happened. So I got a 17' goal instead.

Gonna win 'em all!

Dylan drove a Porsche 356 Speedster. That looks like one and they are in 100k range and up but that could also be a replica - still worth 50k or so

I went with an Acura with a bunch of stuff on it. I am pleased.
