ParticipantHow would you go about buying a repossessed luxury car?
A friend used to have a used car dealer license. I’ll see whether his license is still current and then see if I can go with him to an auction.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=AN]Genesis is great and I really like that car. But I hear it over and over again, “That’s a lot for a Hyundai” or “It’s still a Hyundai”. Brand snobbery is very rampant here. Genesis is selling well relatively and I think the main reason why it’s sell well now is because of luck. Since the economy is bad, people tend to shop for bargain more than ever. If it was released in 2005, I don’t think it would have started off as well. Telling people you drive a Lexus vs a Toyota give a very different perception, even though they both technically are the same car. It’s sort of like telling people you live in Carmel Valley vs living in Mira Mesa. You could be living in a 2 bed room condo vs a large house in Mira Mesa.[/quote]
I protest to the CV snobbery comment AN :)…
But i do think the analogy between toyota camry to lexus ES 350 to your German “counterpart” would be more equivalent to taking a good townhome in MM and slapping a fancy name to it like “Waterridge” and then selling that townhome at Carmel Valley townhome price points minus a few thousand bucks…. which worked in 2005, just like Lexus.:)
Just kidding there AN 🙂Speaking of Lexus. The zing at 0:33 is quite amusing 🙂 (though I admit, the A6 isn’t my cup of tea either).

FYI, it’s Wateridge with 1 R. :-), I used to live there, so I know what you mean. However, the 1400 sq-ft model is still selling for around $440k, unbelievable but true.Audi has a thing with Lexus. Their Q5 commercial have a bunch of RX on there too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8MTpaBUCpcI guess it a complement on Lexus’s part.
