Q: When will the 2010 Acura TL's go on their end of the year clearance sale?
I need a specific date please not the season in which they will go on sale due to the 2011's coming out. Thanks.

A: they are trying to get rid of them now to make room for the 11's. The longer you wait and if they still have them in stock the better you do.

Q: BMW, ACURA, or INFINITI?
Okay, i'm looking to buy a car sometime towards end of this year and I have a $25,000 budget and 3 cars i narrowed down to. I'm 23 years old so i'm looking to get a used luxury sport car. my first choice... 1st - 06' BMW M3 6spd manual seen a lot of nice ones in the mid 20's, but since thats going to be a 5 yr old car by 2011 what kind of maintenance cost will i be looking at. So being a nice car is it worth buying a 5 yr old one? 2nd - 06' INFINITI G35 6spd manual seen around higher teens, lower 20's and again it gonna be a 5 yr old car cause they stop making the g35 and made it to the g37 which i dont like, is it worth buying it that old? 3rd - 08 ACURA TL Type S 6spd manual seen around mid 20's and here i think its a decent car but the only thing that bugs me is its not that fast, and its FWD. other than that i think its a great car, but it just doesnt compare to the other above at least i dont think. So that being said, i'm looking for anybodys opinion and expertise that could help make my decision a little easier and maybe for the girls which car would make u wanna hook up more??? i probably left out some details but ya u get the point. thanks all in advance I know i can get other cars for that price but i have my reasons why i don't choose those, being i don't like muscle cars much (they cool just not my style) and must have a manual transmission (auto just so boring), and wanna stay away from 4 cycl. (no power) thanks

A: For that price, i would recommend you get one of these, http://www.caranddriver.com/search/fastest+car+for+20000. And the new 2011 mustang v6 is only $22000, and that's got 305 hp. I hope you get what you want.

Q: Which car seat would you buy next?
Ok, here's the situation. I have a Graco Snugride(expires 2013) being used for baby, Britax Marathon(exp. 2011) in my dad's single cab small truck, Evenflo Triumph (exp. 2011) in my mom's acura TL and a Graco Nautilus (exp. 2017) in my Caravan. I need to move the baby into a convertible and we ONLY get Britax, the Evenflo is in my moms car because it was the only one with a smooth back at the time for her leather seats, so Evenflo can't move. My 3 year old is about an inch and a half shy of being too tall for the Marathon but I prefer it in my Dad's single cab truck for safety reasons. We plan on having 3 more children with very little time inbetween, and each one at the end will end up in a Graco Nautilus until the seat expires (or maybe a Britax Frontier?) Next year I'll be able to take both the Marathon and Evenflo back because we'll be moving but odds are they'll expire before we have the last baby. The way I see it is that when the last baby is in the carrier, Ill have two in Marathons and two in the forward facing nautiluses or frontiers... Do I get another Nautilus or Frontier for my dad's truck and take the Marathon? Do I get another Marathon now? What would you do? Any certified car seat techs out there want to put their two cents in? Also considering maybe a Britax Regent for the truck? Sorry I guess I left out the key detail of how many kids! I have a 3 year old in the Nautilus, Marathon (almost top slot) and Evenflo, and yes I do need seats in all three vehicles for her. I have my 5 month old with me at all times so I only need to worry about my van there. We have NO problems with fertility so Im not really too worried about seats expiring. Right now the only thing stopping us is deployment. Im not too concerned about a seat expiring before it's used for at least a couple years. We took too long between these two or this wouldn't e as much of an issue :) Anne, I stick with Marathons because one of the things that makes a seat safeis using it right every time and installing it right. Marathon fits my van well, and I know the seat well.

A: I would move the Marathon to your vehicle for the baby and get a Nautilus or Frontier to replace it. Since she's going to outgrow it before too long anyway, it'd be better to put it to use. If you get another Marathon for baby, soon you'll just have an extra Marathon hanging out and you'll need a Nautilus or Frontier anyway. (although soon is relative here, because an inch and a half of torso/head growth could easily mean a year or more for your daughter) I wouldn't try to plan too far in advance for a few reasons. Situations change and while right now you plan on having 3 more quickly, lots of things can happen to make, or force you, to change your mind.(such as the deployment you mentioned) But another reason is because there is constantly change and advancement in car seats. There will be new seats and new options available by the time you're having that last child. And also, all it takes is one minor accident and your seats will need replaced anyway. So there are a lot of factors to consider and I wouldn't plan too far ahead. Plan for these two and maybe consider the next child to come along, but I wouldn't try too hard to plan beyond that. I'm also curious, why only Britax? They are good seats, but they are not necessarily the best seat for every situation. There are other seats/brands that are just as good. In some situations, better. I just caution against being too brand loyal. It can keep you from getting a seat that would work much better in your situation. For example, it sounds like you plan on 5 kids, this will mean at some point you'll need 3 seats across. This does not work with all seat combinations. Radian's are awesome for 3 across installs and fit kids a looong time. 2 Frontiers and an infant carrier on the other hand, is likely to not fit. Just something to consider. Britax is good, but they are not the only good brand or the only seat that can keep your kiddos safe. Of course you list the Nautilus and Snugride, so you obviously don't only get Britax. It's just good to consider all your options. Do you rear face to the limits of the seat or do you turn forward at a certain point? Because to keep baby rear facing to the limits of the seat, there's a good chance you'll need another convertible because s/he will probably not have reached the limits before the Marathon expires. Hard to say since I don't know the Marathons exact expiration or weight of baby. It would be close anyway. Sorry to be long winded and kind of rambling. hope I made some sense and was of some help!

Q: Fallen in love with 3 cars, which one is best and why?
I want to narrow down choices for my 1st car. I want to get it when I'm 16 or when I turn 18. I want to know the pros/cons of these 3 cars: 09' VW JETTA 07-'08 Acura TL '09 Honda Civic Please keep in mind that I will be buying in 2011 or 2012. Which do you think is best for a 16/18 year old and why? I'm not spoiled. I've worked for this car, I'm still working for this car. I really love the looks of the TL.

A: I sell used cars . The V.W. will fall apart fast ! Acura is more of a family car. I think you should buy the Honda Civic , this car is safer and will go on forever !! It will be very easy to handle for a first car driver. Good luck and ENJOY !!!!! AND have the oil changed every 3000 miles - very important !

Q: First car? Please help me choose!?
I turn 17 next year, and I am very excited for a car. I found several cars I like and are pretty cheap that I can afford with a bit of help from my parents with the insurance. 1999 Mercedes CLK320 2004 BMW X3 2.5 2004 Acura TL 2004-06 Volvo S60 02-04 Audi A4 1.8 Personally I like the X3 better, heard it has AWD, and I need that for my ski trips as well as carrying all the gear I have that goes with it. How much do you expect the car to be around 2011? Also, please pick one of these cars, and if you want to suggest cars, please suggest cars that perform well in rain, and snow. In addition, tell me what you think of each car if you can. Thanks a bunch! is insurance high for a small SUV like the X3? and how much do you think the repair will be on these cars?

A: For your age group, insurance is going to be super high on this fine of cars, but if you are a good student, you should have a good discount i find it totally cool that your paying for some of the car yourself too, most kids when i was growing up who got BMWs and such just had their parents hand it to them, and they treated them like crap. Id reccoemend the X3 or the Audi A4. The X3 is for those ski trips, and the A4 is for a fun, compact ride. It all comes down to what you really want. If you want a small, fun sedan thats decent on gas go for the A4 if you want a nice little SUV go for the BMW Also, the volvo would be a smart choice.
