Hello,
I have been a long time lurker, but now will become a first time poster (actually second post……….). I hope this topic has not been covered. I have read past cars that you guys/gals have owned. It’s obvious that there are a wide range of vehicles that many of us own or have owned. I have a few friends that are looking at cars, and they always asked me what other cars/suvs I looked at before buying my FX45. Forty to Fifty thousand dollars is quite a large sum of money and I’m sure many of you poured over your decision. So what other car lots did you guys hit before heading on over to Infiniti?
I live in Chicago, and wanting to be practical want only one car for my needs. I am single with no children. I occasionally run to home depot, to make occasional attempts at doing some work around the house. The main thing I was looking for in a car was performance. Second, the vehicle had to be able to travel in the snow (I have 18 inch snows for my FX). Finally, I wanted something fresh and unique. Now here is what I looked at before buying my FX:
Cayenne S
This one was really close. I pretty much almost bought it, until I found out I had to fork over $900 for a CD player, the **** thing already had an MSRP of 66k. I love the way it drove and looked but it was just too **** expensive for what you get. On a whim my friend told me to try the FX………nuff said
E46 M3
This may sound crazy to cross shop an FX with an m3, but I have a 97 4runner and originally planned on having two cars. I had an e36 M3 and loved it! Having test driven the e46 I came to the conclusion that if I bought one, I would have to drive strait to the police station so they could take my license. When all was said and done it was too impractical for my needs.
03 MB e500 with 9k
Nice used car, but risked falling a sleep while driving. I’m only 28 and felt maybe I would like one later on in life.
X5
Did not want to be part of the herd (no offense to anyone who has one)
Escalade
Not a rapper, j/k. Too **** big……If I had a family then maybe.
VW Tourag
Not sure if I spelled that right, but oh well. This is a **** nice SUV. I really liked it a lot. Just seemed like gourmet vanilla ice cream to me. Excellent, but a bit bland.
BMW 5 Series
Ewwwww
Ferrari 360 Modena
The bank I was going to rob was closed
I did have some buyers remorse at the beginning, but having owned for 6 months I love my FX! I actually still have my 97 4runner, that thing will need to be hit by a missile before it stops running. So I guess I could have gotten the M3, but glad I did not. I love my FX the performance is great, and I love my tech gadgets. Sorry for being long winded, I am traveling for work now and am pretty bored.
