Well, I test drove the one with 80K miles. The owner said it was in excellent condition when it wasn't. Plenty of wear and tear and was worse then our 04 TL which is in excellent condition with same mileage. The condition was just a big turn off. I did enjoy the test drive though, I def think this is my car of choice. I might wait early spring of next year to look again. I am figuring the prices will only continue to come down. I feel like the dealerships around here have this car's price extremely inflated ($21-24K)
Nonetheless, Thanks for all the input, if you see 07+ G Sedan Auto for sale in NC around 16-$18 shot me a PM

Thanks again for all the help, hope to be back soon!

 

I vote for the X.
We love ours and it's a blast in the snow!!! (back of business park, large parking lot)
The X out performed the non-X in dry and wet conditions (slalom), so in my mind it's a safer vehicle for accident avoidance.
Our X did better in snow than any of my previous 4x4 suv's.
We are located near CLT, so we don't get a ton of snow, but when we do, I'm out in it!!
