RS7.

Have you tried this website: About Unhaggle, New Car Deals & Dealer Invoice Prices | Unhaggle

Perhaps the car dealers can give you a deal on the RS7?

150K can probably get you a clean low mile 2001 Integra Type R.

Used G63?

You can spend a few grand more for a Brabus Ride-Control, which significantly improves the ride of the car, takes out the jitters and rattlings.

I've been hoping to pick up an used G63 myself, but they typically hover around the $165,000 mark, while new ones are around $190,000. Even with the slight facelift for 2016, the G63 pricing for 2012 didn't budge very much.

Any tips on where to look for one?

If you are considering to buy a BMW with X drive that is within that 100 to 150K price range, maybe you can send a PM to tofu1413.

Maybe he can get you a deal on a Beemer.

I believe SR had a one white for $150ish. My neighbor got a black one, I believe he paid $155k, private sale.

If you're going to spend $150k buy something that won't be worth half the price in a few years. Almost all the cars mentioned in this thread depreciate like crazy, G63 on the other hand keeps it's value and same goes for the new RR.

Let me know when you find those attractive financing options on an RS7, or other $150k+ luxury vehicle.
A quick look on Audi's own site, it quotes financing from 3.9 and lease from 4.9.

Assuming one invests with a good balance of risk and return, achieving over 3.9%/yr on the return isn't really hard if at all.

Or as you said, if a person can't figure a way to make more than 3.9% ROI, then yes, they should totally buy it outright.

Styling is subjective but I would take a Panamera GTS over the M6GC and RS7. Another car that holds it's value quite well.

Thanks everyone! I'm fully aware of the depreciation of these 150k cars. However in my mind, I am not buying the car to think about how much value it'll hold after a few years, as I will be going on long distance trips, and etc.. I know car values tend to free-fall within this category and I have already taken that into consideration when deciding on purchasing a new car.

But again, thanks everyone for all your thoughts and opinions, I am still searching what the right car is for me.

According to yahoo nobody has died in a XC90, so there's one benefit of it.

The new XC90 is actually one hell of a ride and one I would normally recommend. However, it doesn't seem like it's something the OP is particularly looking for.

That said, my review should be up in the next week or so (shameless plug )

I8 is probably the only BMW that probably won't depreciate much but it's far from a DD.

disagree, it is decreasing at such a large large rate. Saw an auction where no one wanted to even touch it.

Car is shit from what I heard. Enthusiasts and owner of luxury car shops
