Hi,
I am new here... Just a little about me. I am a car guy. Love to get a new car. Love all the gadgets and toys that new cars have to offer. I am 36 years old and have 3 boys ages 8, 5, and 3. Currently I lease 2 cars, a 2005 Trailblazer extended, and a SAAB 9-3 Linear. They are both leased. I have had Maxima's Jeeps etc.
I have decided that I am sick of leasing cars. You pay $400 a month for 3 or 4 years and have nothing to show for it.
So to replace the SAAB which is a nice car but too small when I have to put the boys in it, I decided I will get a family sedan.
I want to get more of luxery sedan. Eveything I am told is if you are planning on purchasing a car instead of leasing- Toyota is the way to go. Nissan is nice but nothing beats toyota.
My SAAAB is up in March but I decided to start to look now.
I stared looking at used Leuxs's. I love the luxery of the cars. Today I realized that for my budget which is about 20,000 to 24,000 I can get a newer nicer avalon over an lexus. The benefit seems that a 2005 avalon has more toys equiped in the car, like the client controled seats over the lex. So that is where i am now.
Now that you have a backround here are some questions I have.
I want a loaded car with nav.
I wll be looking at the limited and xls. What is the difference???
Is the 2005, 2006 and 2007 all basically the same car? What is the difference?
Do these loaded cars all have remote start and bluetooth? Or are those features only available in the 2007 cars?
I like the idea of the smart cruise control, I don't see many models with this. Which model comes with it.
Do all of these models come with the smart key and push button start?
Were there any flaws in the 2005 model which I understand is the first with this body style?
Thanks, I am sure I will have more q's
