I was back in 5 minutes flat.....buy one...but find the right one!

If I buy something new, it will almost definitely be a Turbo Cayenne, but I think it is unrealistic for me at this point (especially with insurance). I'd like to keep a $300 a month car payment on whatever I buy and that makes buying new unrealistic unless I put a huge chunk of change down. I just bought a townhouse, paid off my g35 and have some money sitting here for a new/used car.

I guess I will keep my eyes open for an 01-02 4.4i with decent mileage and go from there. Looks like I will be heading up to the dealership on sunday to take an X5 out for a drive..
