Hey goodman. Have we seen the pictures of your X5? Why not post some pictures so we can see what you got.

get the diesel
you'll be paying for the shop to have it

get a e93 335 when the rates go down ;-)

I'm in your shoes, although my choices are different because of where I live and budget, I'm looking towards CPO E90 330xi or E53 4.4i ZSP, but the E92 328xi is on my radar, too, (335xi

maybe if I got a job at the dealer

) and I'd love the cash or the climate for a E93 335i

. Good luck and take it from my personal experience and don't get the volvo. You'll never forgive yourself.

The RR Sport does have the free maintainence for 3/36k and a 4/50 on the car as well

I'll need to check out the Volvo's reliability but I was quite impressed

I feel If i'm sacrificing with 2 doors, I want a convertable

Do NOT get the Volvo. I hear it drives terribly. I've never driven a Volvo I liked, and my mom's '04 XC70 is one of the few cars I've driven that I really did NOT enjoy driving. I say go for a 335i or an Audi A5.

FWD..heavy... slow..................... need I say more... and oh.. you fold it up. it's a coupe... I thought you said sedans..

I was actually talking about RR's reliability.
Volvo's however, has gone down the toilet since they started digging into the Ford parts bin

So keep in mind, that C70 is on the same platform (and has the same engine as a Euro RS) as a Ford Focus. It handles just like one (again, personal exp.)

But the vulva is waaaaaaaaaaaaay safer since it is built on the Ford Focus platform...

I'd check on that... I know front's good, but side's iffy...

Jus a thought: but it seems like in this post price is the over riding factor regarding your choice. Could it be you should consider other vehicles within you price range. When you figure that out then you may have a better idea of what you can get.

2008 Volvo C70 230hp Convertable
2007.5 VW Toureg V8 (pending test drive)
2008 BMW X5 3.5si (Pending Lease Rates because the current rates are WAY overpriced compared to what I Pay Now, their in RR Sport Territory!)
2008 Range Rover Sport HSE with Luxury/Heated Accessories Package (looking on lease Trader as I cannot afford the new new one)
2008 BMW 335i/535I (depends on lease rates but I refuse to pay over 600.00 a month for a 3 series!)

Input?

Basically, I LOVE LOVE the new X5, but if it's going to continue to be 300+ more expensive to lease a month then my current X5, I don't feel it's worth it and if the Toureg can do that for less money and a V8, I'm not sure what, the Porsche is out because of the expensive upkeep and the Q7 is horrifically ugly
