I personally like the RL for styling, and the TL is cool...but I do have a special place in my heart for a laid out E-class benz W210 body style...the parts or more expensive, but they are pretty easy to work on (I've done lots of maintenance on my brother's benz) and they are tanks that last forever.

Here's my input: You're looking at cars that are about 9-10 years old so you need a vehicle that holds up well after time: Acura's are great mechanically (trannys are known to fail but have a 100,000 mile warranty), but their paint is eco-friendly water based and it'll look sandblasted with rock chips by now. Those front fenders have a ton of room to tuck some large wheels with some fab work. I'd try to get a 2002+ with the newer style front end. Jag....you already know my opionion. Mercedes E320 is a great option too. They are very strong mechanically and have great paint. I think the interior is a little boring compared to an Acura and if you ever needed parts I'm sure i'd be expensive. My first choice is the Lexus GS300, but Pete already dominates that car. You could sell your Titan and get an LS430! That'd be cool. I'm sure anything you get will be cool.

Yeah, definatly no GS. I can't sell the Titan, it's an 08 and I would be upside down if I tried to sell it. I already have a 2007 accord, it's the womans daily. The newer ones are too expensive, but I do like the 4 doors (just can't afford it now). With all the talk about the motors and trannys in the Jag, I am leaning more towards the acuras. Oh, and the Mazda is officially sold. The money is cleared in my account and transport is scheduled to be here between this Friday and next Friday. I got exactly what I was asking, not a penny less. I think the truck was worth every penny and the guy is getting a great deal. It is going to the Miami area in Florida.

Anyone care to explain the issues with the Jaguar S-type? Brian said he was happy with his Lincoln LS and it is basically the same car. I have my eye on one that is cheap, looks to be in great shape, and has low miles. I also have my eye on a RL and a TL, probably would go with the RL there though.

ive always wanted to do a mazda millenia how about a is300 i see them tuner style but bagged would be even better actually if you found a wagon that would be bad ass lately ive been on a wagon thing so a 5 series wagon, mercedes one or mazda 6 would be cool and if you want to stay away from strut cars a newer towncar is awesome
