I would go either with the Acura or the Infiniti. The G coupe is really nice if you like sporty, the Acura TL now has SH-AWD so works great if you go to the mountains skiing etc. I owned an Acura 3.2TL Type S a few years back and loved it! I have owned a Nissan Frontier for the last 7 years and not had a single problem with it. To me that adds to a good ownership experience.

The BMWs are fun but they have recurring issues that require trips to the dealership, after a while it gets old…you ask yourself why you have to deal with this after spending 50k on a car.

Also note that Acura and Infiniti USED to be cheaper than BMW and Mercedes, this is no longer the case..both are now pretty damn expensive as well.

I checked ZipRealty and according to them most transactions are going for 5% below asking right now. So, if a seller is really motivated to sell then 10% below asking shouldn’t be unrealistic I think…certainly not to the point of being insulting.

I have done my HW and I can see that the inventory is quite large in South OC and the DOMs for the listings seem quite high. Buyers are in a holding pattern right now which requires sellers to be more flexible in their prices. Just how the market works!

I am only talking about the South OC market, I have no clue about San Diego and other markets as I don’t monitor them 🙂

agreed, there is no harm in submitting an offer.

The prices right now are so varied, some people are still stuck with their bubble level prices.. even when there are identical homes selling for drastically less. Amusing.
