I’m looking at buying an old Jaguar or Lotus or something for my first car. I have enough saved up and have a couple in mind, but I don’t want to be spending a fortune on parts and repair. I know they are more expensive to service, but about how much more compared to a Nissan, or other mid-class cars?
Thanks,
-Tony

think of ity like this higher the car price higher the cost to keep it running
more expensive car more expensive is the up keep
Call your local Firestone, or some other national service center. Ask them how much it is for a 4-wheel brake job (pads and rotors) on a 1999 Porsche 911. Then ask how much it is on a Nissan Maxima. You will be amazed at how much more it can be
When it comes to parts for higher-end cars, many chain stores do not stock them. You may not be able to walk into any Kragen and get an alternator for a Lotus Esprit. But you can get one for a Camry just about anywhere. Higher end parts are typically only through the dealer, and that means bigger $$
You don’t need exact numbers to understandf that high end luxury car parts and service are just as expensive as the car was when it was new.
Compare the price of a Jaguar on the new car lot to a Nissan Maxima. Apply that same cost difference to the labor and parts prices for that car when it needs to be serviced. Used high end Euopean luxury cars are unreliable and expensive to maintain, it’s just the way it is. They are also twice the price to insure.
There is a price to pay for entering into that luxury car “club”. When they are new they are expensive to buy. When they are used they are unreliable and come with high maintenance costs.
Ask anyone who has owned a Jaguar and they’ll tell you , you need two of them. One to drive while the other is in the shop. A brake job on a Porsche was over $600 in parts alone for a ten year old one twenty years ago. Porsche is a car that a lot of extended warranty people won’t cover. I know nothing about Lotus other than their four cylinder engine was one of the best performers of that size. I do however know that a Japanese car executive said, “The day of the six cylinder car for us is over, we have four cylinders now that will out do the six on many levels.”I’d consider the Genesis made in Korea and I saw a mid size four door at the LA auto show. I don’t know about current availability on it. There is nothing luxurious about the Porsche, it is more about stiff riding spartan sports car than comfort. The Jaguar has been a disappointment for many even Ford themselves, as their banker’s told them to dump them before they agreed to loan them money. (This is why Ford didn’t need bail out money, they did it the old fashioned way by borrowing from this thing called a bank, whose concession was Volvo and Jaguar should have been dumped way long ago before we even had a conversation about it.) Lotus is way too small, come on. If you want sports luxury get a Mazda RX 7 or 8 or whatever it is. vastly superior to anything in that class. It seems you want British status, then get a Morgan.You really are all over the place here. You need to pick the car you can live with that’s probably a Sports car with room Nissan Maxima has done a good job on that front. Japanese mechanics have told me Nissan’s are crap. (Renault owns them) I’ll bet you didn’t know that Volkswagen, BMW, Bentley, and Rolls Royce are bedfellows now the latter having a BMW engine in some models. And if you didn’t think they were big enough I’ll let the cat out of the bag and say that they are negotiating with Porsche which has been starved for cash like forever, and if Audi is not all ready aboard they will be. Ford is going to be the only auto company left in the US that is what the Euro mega group alluded to. You can get Fords fixed cheaper than just about anything. If I were you I’d buy a four door Tesla for fifty grand, that’s the grand car of the future being made today in the U.S. You can get a Shelby Mustang or even better the Ford GT. I knew a neighbor who was in a quandary on what to get in the early 70′s. He got a Ford Pantera body Detomaso/Pinafarina power plant choice of four Ford V8s. Worked for him he still has it to this day. He was not pleased when shortly after receiving delivery for the car he hit a pot hole that dusted one of the Campanolo rims that cost over $2000 to replace one and his car was idled for months waiting for the single replacement rim (Never asked him about the spare.) I believe he paid $9000 for the car and the price of the rim was about as out of balance as the one that was destroyed.. I’ll google the Ford Gt and see if it’s under the average price of a modest house in So. Cal.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Glad to see that this site works well on my Blackberry Bold, everything I want to do is functional. Thanks for keeping it up to date with the latest.
That was a different thought track. I love your style that you put into your work. Please do continue with more similar to this.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
TX a lot for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

I took care of my 65-year-old, chain-smoking mother as she died from lung cancer three years ago. I thought, at the time, that if seeing her suffer so horribly didn’t make me quit, nothing would. Yet I continued to smoke. I’m not proud of that. I hated it, I wanted desperately to quit, but I continued nonetheless.

Exactly. The ‘Snapdragon’ happens to include a poor GPU, which you mentioned the specifics of in your comment. To that end I heavily dislike the idea of calling a phone with one of these SOCs ‘high-end’. My overclocked Droid performs general calculations nearly as well at the same clock speed as a Snapdragon at 1Ghz, but it’s 3D performance beats the Snapdragon easily – and Hummingbird just kills everything else on Android. It’s a shame Microsoft made Snapdragon the only currently supported chip for 7, as it’s going to limit game development in the long run. Shame Focus isn’t rocking a Hummingbird.
2. Awesome work once again! Thanks.
