    agreed , M5's are becoming very common. Someone tell me last time they saw a S-Type R .

    I would not get either jags, simply because I hate them. And i drive a new xjr on the regular.

    Same with the lexus.

    I'd rather get a 745 than a 740. Much nicer IMO.
    I'll be test driving each on of them before i end up in one. Buy yea, XJR seems too plushy reason my last choice. Why do you hate them?

    Yea either or on 7 Series, but i don't like the new body style..gonna keep it between 00-03.

    Whatever you do, DONT buy a Jag. They feel great - very nice interior, very opulent, excellent seats, great power. But it'll spend more time in the shop than in your garage. I know more people with problems than happiness. (~5)
    That is what i would like to hear. What are they usually in the shop for, weakness? I have been reading reviews so far not one on S Type-R reliability. Everyone appraised on it's build quality compared to standard S-Types.

    Link not working. I found a 02 M5 for under 20k and a 02 m5 good as off the showroom floor for $23.5k. Sucks i won't buy till i move both of my current garage queens out or else i would have a M5 in my garage rite now.

    Just gotta talk to them, and be good with words. You'd be surprised how bad the economy is hitting some people. I know for fact some of the M's i am looking at will be gone in a week or so . Those are the only two i was able to find with such price, rest are still premium for a nice/clean M.

    I don't like the way they drive... very isolated feeling. The interiors are boring. And their styling is just so so. They don't have the road presence that a bmw or benz has.
