Right now she has a 2001 BMW 330i which has been great but repair costs are starting to rise. This time we need a bigger vehicle, either a wagon or minivan. Baby coming in about 6 months! I wasn't going to dig too much into my details because I think it is a topic of more general interest...a strategy for a decent and hopefully slightly interesting daily driver to suplement the Boxster.

I enjoyed reading the responses on this topic. For the me the brand-new option isn't too appealing unless it is something special. If it is more like a Camry, I'd rather get a used Lexus for example. A couple cars that interest me, strong "#2" options - the Mercedes R class, and the Volvo V70R. The market seems to hate these cars, and I have a fondness for them.

This is kind of a philosophical question. I want to buy a practical used car for my wife in the next 6 months, I have no idea what except that I'd like to spend around $25k. $25k (or higher) for a used car is a lot of money.

You'll need a new stalk assembly, there is a tiny plastic rachet inside that has broken. The part is about $200 I think, and labor should be about an hour. As a point of trivia, this assembly has a "993" part number...it's an old piece of crap from the parts bin.by Charlie (Sacramento CA) - Main Forum

I'm still enjoying my SY 04S, just a baby still with 52K miles. Your Infiniti looks like a great road trip car.by Charlie (Sacramento CA) - Main Forum
