I don't know but this probably isn't the best place to ask.
2008 Mercedes 300
2008 Lexus IS 250
2008 BMW 3 Series
So...given that each of these cars, used, runs close to each other in price, which would you choose.
I don't know but this probably isn't the best place to ask.
You got damn RICHER!!
if I had to choose between those 3, i'd choose the lexus.
but if i personally had money to burn and needed a vehicle, i'd go with a nissan maxima or crew cab silverado bro!
From those 3 I'd pick the Lexus. I've had a couple of BMWs, they got boring real fast. You can't go anywhere in San Antonio without seeing literally hundreds of those Mercedes on the road, which may be a testament to their reliability, but I just get the impression that it's a testament to their affordability and any wannabe can afford one now.
I have no idea what any of those cars look like or what their respective specs are. But despite the overblown safety dustup earlier this year, I am a loyal Toyota man. So I say... Lexus.
I don't know, richers maybe? That's just how it seems to me![]()
Wow.
Wannabes, huh?
I've always noticed a ton of the C240's and C230's on the road...which is like the base model...I rarely see the 300...
Well because I can't say with 100% accuracy which ones I'm seeing, I'll go with what you see![]()
But I'd still go for the Lexus, they're sexy.
the man or woman always makes the car. never the other way around.
This is true![]()
Another satisfied Toyo owner. Haven't had a single problem with two different Lexs in over a decade.
There is nothing wrong with any of them…Its just that these are the entry level Luxury lines designed for people who can’t afford the real deal…
Buy an Accord or Camry & stop being a poser...
I wasn't sure how to answer your question so I went out and bought one of each. My favorite is the Mercedes.
If you need a car to jump up the way ppl see you....well that's its pretty sad.
Probably the Lexus. The BMW 3 series isn't that great - the interior is pretty cheap looking and there's nothing really special about them. And I agree with mrsmaalox, there's too many Mercedes 300s around.
No kidding. I would not by the Escort of BMW, and low end Mercedes started being built like in the early 90's. I like BMW, just not the entry level. To me, it would be like buying an Escort rather than a Taurus.
Now a 6 series... Now we are talking.
BMW 650i:

No contest.
BMW 3 series. Not even close.
I had a 328i once after owning the Lexus and I used to manage a property that had pricy Mercedes cars and although nice, the Lexus and Mercedes get boring pretty fast.
I remember thinking once while driving the lexus for about two years....that it was kinda Vanilla...and I started eyeing Bimmers and Audi's...and wondered if I had made the right choice...
I mean there was NOTHING wrong with the Lexus...it just didn' satisfy...and I had bought the Lexus because I had compared the BMW and the Lexus and it seemed like the Lexus just had more options for the money.
Well, I finally stepped up to the BMW ...and the first week I bought it I took a road trip---and that is when it hit me...that is one awesome machine...I connected with it like I had never connected with any car...
I kept that Bimmer for about four years and loved every minute of it...sometimes I would get off of work...start driving home...tired and weary...then all of I sudden I'd smile...as the car always felt solid,tight and it drove and felt like a dream---two or three years after the honeymoon period...and I thought to myself...
THIS is why you pay the extra money....
No contest.
Just in terms of styling, I'm not a huge fan of the sedans from either of the three companies. If I had to choose, though, I'd go with the Lexus. Based mostly on looks.
If it was the Lexus IS C you were considering, then it would be a no-brainer. That's a gorgeous car.
beamers are too common man
mercs...how old are you?
lexus? its a toyota...
