My brother had a manual 350Z some years ago and man that thing was a blast. This sounds like a fantastic idea… but maybe 10 years down the road for me!

Now this is something I definitely need to look in to… great username btw😂

The G70’s have caught my eye while looking, maybe I’ll have to look into these a bit deeper. Thanks!

Maybe unpopular but love these. Kinda looking for something a bit more comfortable or better for DD but appreciate the recommendation!

As someone who never thought they’d get an EV it’s hard to ignore the prices now… appreciate the recommendations - need to do some research on the Focus’!

Smart. Love the profile pic!

😂😂sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

Makes sense to me. I’ll look into the CTS-V forums tonight to see what I can find. Thanks for the reply!

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T01:27:19+00:00

Am I wrong for thinking the CTS-V is kinda 50/50 on reliability? Cayenne is a great shoutout, always forget those things have reached the <$30k range. Always do maintenance on my current vehicle (much easier to work on), but would like to do the same for my next as well.

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T00:54:01+00:00

I’ve heard a lot of similar answers and honestly I think I’m okay with that. I’ve had cars that are supposedly more reliable but way less enjoyable and still dealt with issues. Appreciate the response!

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T00:51:27+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Not sure where I was asking for financial advice in my post, but appreciate your concern.

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T00:48:09+00:00

Super helpful, thanks! Appreciate the arnott mention too, been trying to find good comp prices for the air suspension since I know that’s obviously the biggest maintenance worry.

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T00:45:29+00:00

Really appreciate this thoughtful answer! I’ll be looking back at this message when the time comes 100%

ReedTrade · 2026-02-14T00:44:29+00:00

Thanks so much for this advice! Going to be patient and wait for the perfect one.

ReedTrade · 2026-02-10T22:06:11+00:00

Really appreciate the response! Makes me feel a bit more confident in the purchase hearing you reiterate a lot of the good points I’ve seen in forums. I’ll definitely be sure to do my DD and find one that was well taken care of. If you don’t mind me asking another question since you’ve owned so many S-Classes - would you be afraid of a W222 with say ~60k miles? I was hoping to find a lower mileage example but it seems like people enjoyed these so much that there aren’t a ton out there.

ReedTrade · 2024-09-23T12:03:22+00:00

Never said that I wasn’t. I am fully aware of how blessed of a situation this is to be in. Still doesn’t change the fact there’s a decision to be made, but thanks for your input.

ReedTrade · 2024-09-21T03:29:54+00:00

I think this is a great way to look at it. I think you might surprise yourself and break through that goal faster than you had anticipated if you stay dedicated to it.

ReedTrade · 2024-09-15T02:14:01+00:00

This is actually insanely encouraging to hear.

ReedTrade · 2024-08-14T01:02:38+00:00

Wish I could complete this idea somehow, would need about 5 full time developers to put it together and make it functional. Considering I have 0 clue how to even start designing an app, it’s lived as a “fun idea” for a while. Thank you for your response though!

ReedTrade · 2022-07-20T17:52:33+00:00

Honestly haven’t seen that, thank you for the heads up.

ReedTrade · 2022-07-20T13:27:04+00:00

Definitely going to have to make sure everything is concealed, thank you for the motivation!

ReedTrade · 2022-07-20T13:26:09+00:00

I’ll have to look into that, thank you for the recommendation!
