The only thing I'd really want to check out is the suspension; I've ridden in some coilover equipped cars and they rode AND handled great- others have had both a miserable ride and iffy handling.

I would never buy a Honda used because the strong resale value makes getting a bargain impossible. I would go with a new one. A lease would be a good idea for the same reason, less depreciation.

We bought the current 08 Odyssey on 9/25/12... It's been in two accidents since we bought it. Therefore, I'm convinced its bad luck.
A Sienna, or another Odyssey, make sense. or maybe a really cheap lease or slightly used Chrysler would be cheap.

328xi m-sport wagon
Coincidentally, this is being offered by a broker that was trying to (unsuccessfully) sell my A5 for the past two months on consignment.
So one-owner, low miles m-sport, manual 328xi wagon with navigation. I was joking with my wife that they did indeed make these but finding one would be next to impossible. So here's a nice one in our backyard.
We might do it and have coordinating 3's.

even better, read the summary. that is the extra special, 7 passenger model! Unless there is really a rear facing 3rd row I don't know about, in which case, never mind...">

So we just got back from our lunch hour checking out the wagon, and pending a pre-purchase inspection from our mechanic, we'll do the deal tomorrow. It's still under warranty, so I wouldn't normally do the inspection, but it looks to me like it's been lowered and has an aftermarket exhaust. Both are subtle - especially since those "x-drive" model ride a little high anyway - but given those mods, I'd feel better having it looked at.

So, my wife is trading in her X3 for it. Truthfully, we were actually searching for an E90 wagon when she "settled" on her X3. Kinda like the A5 for me, the X3 was great - functional and comfortable and she justified it for those reasons, but she and I are similar - she really likes the overall feel of the 3.

Unless I sell something first, I really hate to see how crappy a car my budget will get me!

No getting around a decent loss on that car, but at the end of the day, my wife gets her very hard-to-find 3 wagon, and we get some back on the difference. There are worse things.

Thanks.
No, they don't make you do anything. The car comes with a cord that will plug into a standard 110v outlet. Problem is, that takes forever to charge. If you want faster charging, you have to get a 220v setup. However, you are free to get that anywhere you want. There are several options available, one of which is to send the standard cord to a company that will upgrade it to 220v charging for you. Cost is about $250.

Friends looking at electric cars .....
I did some math, with the $7500 federal credit and a $2000 local credit in MD, the new base price is $20,150, though the base model did go through some cost cutting of content.
And I wouldn't expect to see anything that comes close to the current Leaf lease program for a LONG time, even on the new base model. But, if buying, yes, I'd probably wait to see how the new one stacks up with the range.
Here is the company that does the upgrades:

Volt lease is $329, you got a Leaf for $199, right?
Funny. I went to check out the volt deal just now... front page of site says $329, but when I go into the offers page, it tells me $299.
Anyway, even at the better numbers, Volt is $100 more per month, 12-month longer term, and $420 more due at signing.
ALSO, if one does happen to go over, Chevy is charging 25 cents per mile on the Volt vs 15 cents on the Leaf.

Not a bad looking e30. Is it really an is though? My 325is had the sport seats. This obviously doesn't.
A later 4-banger.
could i get crappier pics to look at? please?
I swore I'd never buy another car in need of rust repair, but this is intriguing nonetheless

So if your commute isn't too big, and you can charge at work, a standard outlet might do fine at home. Although I think I would want the higher power outlet, just to be safe

Over $6k for a 240? yikes.

True and if buying a less expensive bike initially only to decide to buy a nicer bike in a few years likely would cost more in the end. IMO, it's better to buy what you really want and will likely keep longer.

I love the Volvo, and it might be the nicest one in existence, but it would have to be your dream car to pay that much...

I was toying with the idea of risking my life less, and maybe upgrading the car instead - but driving in the E55 today had it feeling so smooth and fast, that I felt stupid even considering another car (especially as it would be financed).
No, I wouldn't expect you to just go balls out crazy and light your hair on fire with a Kawasaki ZX 14 or something similar as a first bike.
OTOH, I think something like the Monster you are interested might be the way to go versus just getting a starter bike for the sake of just getting a bike. Sure, you'll like it at first, but you'll soon be looking for something else. The Monster would likely be something that will satisfy you for a long time w/o getting you in trouble. Well, you can get in trouble with a scooter, but you know what I mean.
and the '99 323i is a 6 cyl, not a 4. Just their naming convention for the early base model E46s.
The while convert actually looks pretty nice for the money, but new manual transmission is a danger sign.

I'm far from the authority on E30s. I did own an E30 325i Coupe. My car was not an "is." My car was a 1990 & had a driver's side air bag.
That E46 323i looks sharp. Sport pkg. original owner. Well kept. Stick;)

I'd eventually like a Streetfighter or a Tuono or maybe a sport BMW, but they are too much powerful for someone without several thousand miles under their belt, and not cheap either.
