Sorry. My bad. Haha. I was just super stoked to see something RS6 Avant related. Dammit I wish I wasn't poor right now!

Restored, stick shift wagons, with plaid interiors, for cheaper than new. Sign me up.

This is awesome.

I might just keep my 2018 330i wagon. Will have about 40K at lease end and buyout is $28K. Anyone have a better idea?...

No idea if the buy out price is good, but if it is and you like the car, I would keep it. It is nice to drive a car since day 1 so you know it's history.

I think that's a great ride. A few more options for the exercise:

Allroad
Buick Regal TourX (yeah, I said it)
V60 - Polestar tune
Jag XF sportbrake (a little pricier and hard to find)

I'm with these fellas. No idea how the price is but I have a feeling it's right there as I know you can find CPO allroads right off lease with less than 40k miles for around $30k.

Didn't even know these existed until seeing one at a dealership a few months ago. On the smaller side and know nothing of the build quality or reliability but it was a great looking car.

**BmillsSkier** · 10-05-2020, 11:15 AM

Old guy in the neighborhood has a XF Sportbrake-S. I had to do a triple take to see what it was at Publix one afternoon and he caught me looking at it so chatted me up for a bit. Apparently it helps if you're a big Jag fan and can see past it's shortcomings. Really good looking wagon though.

Thanks! As I’ve been looking at replacement prices on the 2017s, $28K is a pretty good price for a car I know well. Some other cars in the 40K mileage/$28-$30K price range may have more options, or there may be some with closer to 30K miles for $3-$5K more, but who knows how well they were cared for.

At at one point, I was looking back at something like an older 5 Series wagon for less up front (maybe $10-$12K range) but I’m wary of the maintenance on some of those. 3-series usually cheaper and better than the 5-series on maintenance and repair issues.

I had a chance to take a V60 T60 R-Design for a spin this weekend... damn, what a rad wagon. Solid, quick, and a total sleeper. Much rad, very want. The Sheriff called us late Saturday night and they recovered the wife's stolen AllTrack; it was hammered. Flat tire, popped radiator, smoked in, smashed front bumper, it'd been smoked in... We're pushing for a total so we can snag the V60.

fucking hated when they found my WRX on literally day 29.....stack of parking tickets I had to get straightened. Obviously they beat on it, its a WRX, missing radio, ripped seats...they didnt total it. I think i drove it like 3 more weeks and traded it in on an 04 pathfinder I think...anyway...when their stolen its soo much easier to never get them back.

Oh yeah, and the insurance interview shit I had to go through? Literally grilled me, in person, for over an hour like I had something to do with it...that pissed me off to no end.

Good luck on the V60

My girls went through some cars in High School / College. One car was stolen and found a month later in MX. Long time ago, but I am thinking it was totaled. Never any issues with USAA. Hopefully you switched insurers.

That sucks. We have State Farm. They've been middling to deal with thus far. The kicker here is that they've agreed to total out her AllTrack and the payment is in process or on the way to her credit union, so I'm not sure how that impacts that process? The wife is freaked that State Farm won't total the car and we'll be stuck with a theft recovery car that's been raged on, smoked in, and seemingly driven through a bark mulch pile.

Any insurance mags or those with experience care to share some wisdom on how this works?

Can confirm USAA is great to deal with.

Sadly USAA does not insure everyone. My wife had USAA from her father the WWII Catalina pilot, if I had not heard so much bad shit about the guy, I would of loved to talk planes with him, but Cancer is a bitch. Especially 40 years ago.

**Single Track** · 10-05-2020, 05:06 PM

Ugh. What an ordeal. I've had a car stolen and recovered in fairly good shape but clearly had been slept in. Just something about it was never the same.

Where in Portland (roughly) was it stolen? It really seems to me there's not any part of town that's not susceptible anymore.

FIFY. I run bill pay out of those accounts now, but have switched everything that’s any kind of revenue generator away from them (including home, auto, and life insurance) over the past few years through a string of poor experiences. Fuckers really went downhill and were terrible enough about it that I take some small amount of satisfaction that they lose money on me every month.

Vancouver, actually. Westside, like way west side.

But yes, property crime is through the roof everywhere in the metro area.

It's such a bummer. Idk how our 05 Prius still has a catalytic converter.

Does that qualify as a soup kitchen?
