What's the going rate for a new loaded FX35? $47ish? Our loaded '05 has 44k miles....my wife loves it doesn't want to part with it but she would for a new one. :wink:
 
Buying a luxury car, brand new, is the WORST.....why be the one to take the hit? Unless you lease it, it's not a good idea to throw down 50K after taxes/fees/financing, drive it for 5 years then sell it for around 22-25K, which means you ended up spending around $420 a month, which you could initially have worked out a lease deal in the beginning for around $2000 down $399 a month for 2-3 years, enjoy the new car for less time and not worry about selling it later.

I'd wait another 2 years for the lease returns and pay around $25-28 for the new style FX.....

What he said.:cool:
 
the move from 1st gen to 2nd gen is an excellent one (05-->09 here)

However, I would look to do one at least 3-5 years old. The major depreciation already hit, and you can get a good deal on them.
