Ah, that's right. Well, I wouldn't bother with car shopping a year in advance. A couple months, sure, but not a year.

It helped everyone's, it gave everyone a place to post (I'm sure the idea). We did need some new threads (I should get to some more tomorrow).

RE: Car Shopping


A few questions.


How would a used Lincoln LS (V-6) be?


Same for used DeVille, and which would be better?


We all rather like the looks of the Lincoln, and it is a Lincoln, but we haven't test drove one yet, dealers were of course closed today.

Neither of those cars are known for reliability, I wouldn't get one without a warranty.

If you want a cheaper Deville BTW, get a Park Avenue.

Reliability was a big issue, because our '90 Continental was terrible (15 years I know, but my parents are stupid.).


And we considered the Park Avenue but it wasn't very appealing, the DeVille isn't much more appealing but I still wanted to know what you guys thought.  We probably would've gotten and LS but if reliability is that bad then I guess not.

With the exception of the LS, those are definitely old-person cars. I don't understand why your parents would like those cars.

They don't like the Park Avenue, and I have no idea about the DeVille, that was just my suggestion, because it's a Cadillac and a rather nice car (I thought).

It's a cushy old-person car, that doesn't excel at anything, but has a significant enough price advantage over other major luxury car models to be considered a decent buy.

However, when buying it used, it doesn't have enough of a price advantage over a new/slightly used Avalon or even Five Hundred/Montego.

And Kevin, you don't mean that your parents are stupid. They're "gifted".

Is being gifted a genetic trait?

So, you're parents aren't gifted? That's dissapointing.

That just means that they don't act like Kevin. Would you really want adults in our society acting like that?

Actually the person I was named after acts like that, except with the common sense of an adult.
