So is, "standard economy luxury sedan"...

You can add as many toppings as you want, but a hotdog is still a hotdog. As for me, a 'bare bones' filet mignon with a little bit of salt & pepper is just fine...

who does it make more sense to? the person who is actually buying the vehicle right? spend a little bit more money for a nav, back up cam, and sound system? what happens if i tell you i dont need that stuff or want it.. if i never use it then it would be a waste.. slower? like i said before not everyone cares about speed or luxury...

ok.. my mother in law just bought a brand new pilot a couple year ago... she is a bit on the older side.. all she wanted was the room and awd.. she didnt want nav, because she doesnt know how to use it.. leather? no she said it gets too hot and she doesnt like the feeling.. who are you to tell her to get a fully loaded pilot for a extra 7 or 8k for stuff she didnt want? she even said she can use that 8k to go to cambodia.. is she wrong?

lol wut?

were talking about entry level luxury aka c300s and 328is which to me is like those replica cars people make
id rather take the pilot your aunt drives over a base 328 or c300 tbh
Whats the reason people buy a benz or a bmw? LUXURY AND PERFORMANCE right? thats why they cost so much compared to their competitors
You dont get luxury or performance in a 328 or c300 all your really paying is a high markup for the mercedes/bmw name

these entry level cars are for corny kids like

Haha! The only thing that posts like this provoke is additional leech posts from ninja & others that, more or less, still can't afford either. Then you have pompous NTers like me that shouldn't even bother, but still like to correctly inform others as not to be influenced by this filth. Honestly, you're just grasping at straws now so I hope you're trolling. Yes, styling is subjective, but you're not going to find many people take a Pilot over an entry-level luxury make/model (Maybe on NT). By your standards, please define 'luxury'' & 'performance'...

Are you assuming that luxury requires a butler & an endless amount of 'gadgets'?

Are you assuming that performance requires 1,000+ HP? Are you strictly a numbers guy (i.e. 'brochure' enthusiast)?

What about the award winning International Engine of the Year in the N20?

What about the refined driving dynamics in the C300? Literally, the car was engineered to have a superior power-to-weight ratio & is one of the lightest compact sedans out there. Definitely delivers one of the most balanced rides on the market today...

As I said in my first post, most of the backlash is coming from people that are trying to justify themselves as being below average-to-average consumers. So many "smart" shoppers yet their actual situation in life most likely doesn't reflect that...

Side note: Still sad to see that even when comparing your Top of the Line "examples", no one has yet to fully answer the actual "value" in them when compared to a base 5-series (or any car for that matter). Even with your best/'top shelf' domestic vehicle, there's no overwhelming evidence that suggests one should opt for it...

:rofl:

Called it. Dude's only vice is leather vs. leatherette...

Leather is only a $1,400 option. Explain the other facets of 'value' in the SRT8 as you apparently keep 'dodging' the question(s)...
 
You keep comparing a LOADED model to a BASE model and pointing out over and over that it's "not real leather", how does that make any sense?

you got dismissed for even trying to say a base model 5 series holds its value better then a SRT8 charger..c'mon b

your knowledge needs to match your snobbery for you to have a chance at sounding like you know what you're talking about.
 
I've watched this thread for days and kept quiet but I feel like beating my head on the table bc he keeps repeating that ...

a LOADED model that still comes in CHEAPER than da BASE MODEL entry luxury car, aka da gist of this thread.

if you were paying attention you would've known instead of asking questions.
 
I'm not disputing that it comes in cheaper, but at this point it seems that your qualifying the definition of "luxury" as coming standard with leather. So a loaded 5 is more luxurious than an SRT8 by your count, correct?

Dismissed?

You even posted charts confirming that SRT8s have POOR value ratings across the board. Literally, any year Charger SRT8 was listed as having a Poor Value. What was the 2013s BMW 528i again? Not sure if it said Great or Excellent...

Your finances needs to match your typing to even have a chance at being able to afford a car...
 
7th or 8th time posting this...

Where are the savings in a Charger SRT8? What is the exact 'value' in purchasing a Charger SRT8 as evidence proves otherwise?

you've yet to find a SRT8 depreciate da way a 528i has like sneakerpro says, and yet we've posted NUMEROUS examples of

depreciated 528i's, what you talking about in regards to that base model doesn't apply to da real world

get your knowledge weight up, at this point its embarrassing.

Where are these examples? SneakerPro posted links of active listings. I can buy a McDouble then list it for $5 on eBay. It doesn't mean it will sell at the price...

Please reference these examples again...

How about completed listings with actual sold prices?

People lease 528's and people finance SRT8's

These comparisons are asinine

Actually, a lot of Charger SRT8 owners lease as well. Since most were sitting & collecting dust, Dodge sold/leased a large amount at or below invoice plus a $2,500 rebate (if you leased). Residual on any year Charger SRT8 is horrible so they had to liquidate...
 
This whole thread has turned to a lot of guys showing how insecure they are about the car they drive (and some the cars the WANT to drive).

Buy what the hell you want and like. ***** if I want a 528, I'm buying it. Don't give 2 ***** what the SRT got.


And if I'm getting an SRT ANYTHING, Its going to be the Chally.

And the inside of that Charger looks like a ******g Dodge Ram Ninja, stop defending that rubber and plastic interior. The only leather its got on it is the seats. That ain't much... A Lexus comes with more leather than that. And if you got money, the leather upgrade in the BMW is nothing to you. You won't even sweat the extra $1500 for it.

The BMW has much nicer features on the inside. You're overcompensating for the Charger due to the fact that its the side of the argument you're defending. You're downplaying everything about the Bimmer, when in reality, all the Charger has is leather seats. What else does it have that would grab the average consumers attention?

It ain't like you going to open that Charger up on the street or on the track anyway, so why the **** not just get the BMW? Whens the last time you wen't to Laguna Seca Ninja? Whens the last time you used all that power? If you aren't hitting the track then whats the point? **** for the Price of it, I can get an R/T Charger and R/T Challenger and have the same damn driving experience.

Especially in NYC.. Where do you even have the room to haul *** in that thing? The smarter decision for you WOULD be to get the BMW OR the cheaper Charger and just saving money for some wheels etc.

Buying an SRT Charger in NYC is badge flossing. You ain't going to do nothing with it anyway. So you're pretty much just buying that **** for the SRT badge and the free MOPAR jacket...

Like I said, if you aren't hitting the track, or live somewhere with open roads to peel out on, the you're "badge flossing" in the SRT anyways. Its a NOVELTY CAR. Which is why there's an entire SRT brand. They are novelty whips for the genuine car enthusiast who is a loyal brand owner and wants more power to take full advantage of.

If you can't take advantage of it, buy the ******g R/T. The hell you need 470HP in NYC for? Unless you just want to stunt...

So if anyone says you're buying an entry level BMW just to have one and to badge floss, that **** goes two ways.

If you buy the top of the line SRT Charger, you're doing the same exact thing. Cause last time I checked, the maximum speed limit around my way is 65...

We all ******g badge floss. Get over yourselves.

His arguments are dumb he still hasn't answered as to why he doesn't buy Brooks over Nike

Their shoes are much better quality and cheaper

Brand flossin...
 
Don't buy a smaller house in a nicer neighborhood.

Get the bigger house in the rougher area.

If not, you're just address flossing. Living there for the name. Buying the entry level house.

Even though in 3 years you'd have spent thousands of dollars more on the upkeep of the larger house, and you have to send your kids to private school or an out of district school because the crappy school district in the area is well... Crappy.


But you got da bigger house doe.
