    New (to me) Car: 1998 Lexus GS400 or 2005 Nissan Maxima SL

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'm working with someone on a 2001 Lexus GS300 w/93k miles for $9k. I've driven both the GS300 and GS400 and I'm satisfied with the GS300's power. If I can knock another $500 off the price, I think this is it. 3 years newer than the GS400, the owner has taken...

    New (to me) Car: 1998 Lexus GS400 or 2005 Nissan Maxima SL

    T2urtle, what do you mean by the suspension is the problem? As in it feels floaty or it needs to be repaired often? jtvang125, my friend's GS300 needed a new starter and I think they replaced the alternator, too, so that seems common but those types of issues I can definitely live with. I...

    New (to me) Car: 1998 Lexus GS400 or 2005 Nissan Maxima SL

    Thanks for the responses. It looks like most people prefer the Lexus. I'm going to wait another day for more responses to see what others say. Other than the fact that I NEED a car, the owner of the Nissan is moving across the country soon so I need to make a decision fast. Is there a...

    New (to me) Car: 1998 Lexus GS400 or 2005 Nissan Maxima SL

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a new (used) car to get. Really the only thing I'm concerned with regarding these cars is reliability. Which car do you think would be more reliable and is there anywhere I can find information on this? I've read peoples' posts on various forums but don't...

    $60k+ to spend on what vehicle?

    I agree with the above poster. A BMW (or some other luxury-sport with a sport bias) would make more sense if you weren't planning on getting a Lotus as a weekend car. Get something that would be an amazing luxury cruiser that can be somewhat fun if the need arises. The Lexus LS, like...

    I'm not sure, to be honest. I believe very low in the $20k's.

    2006 Subaru Impreza vs 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit

    Thanks for the posts guys. I'm surprised by the responses, not one vote for the Volkswagen. In Car and Driver's comparo, the Volkswagen took first and the Subaru second. For those of you recommending the WRX, The newest one I can find with a 5-speed in my area fur under $10k is a 2003 w/103k...

    2006 Subaru Impreza vs 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit

    Hey guys, I've pretty much narrowed my car search down to a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Sedan and 2007 Volkwagen Rabbit (2 Door). Both are 5-speed manuals and have 33k miles. I can get each for ~$10k. * Weekly, I make a 220-mile roundtrip visit to my parents' home so gas mileage is...

    2004 Lexus LS430 vs 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited...HELP!

    It seems I forgot to update this thread. We ended up getting a 2006 Lexus LS430 with 51.5k miles on it sometime in March. It's been an excellent car so far. Thanks for your help guys.

    Looking for New (to me) car; ~$7k; I35 vs TL vs GS

    Thanks for the replies. I've already looked at the Maxima. I've already looked at Maximas but cannot find a cheap one. From what I've seen, they're more expensive than a similar I35. If you can find a fairly priced one, please send me a link. In a couple months, I'll more than likely be...

    Looking for New (to me) car; ~$7k; I35 vs TL vs GS

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for a car (I live in Davis/Sacramento during the week, San Jose during the weekends). $7k is the budget but if you guys know of a cheaper car that's also good, I'm interested. I can stretch the budget a couple thousand, too, but only if the car is significantly...

    How to Output Video from Laptop to TV

    Honestly, I can't recall the last time I saw composite out on a laptop. All my laptop has is USB, firewire, ethernet port, VGA, and a media card reader (SD, etc.)

    I suppose non-HD is fine, as well. I'll look into the USB video card thing. My laptop has integrated graphics...no dvi port. Thanks for the post.

    How to Output Video from Laptop to TV

    **CLIFFS AT END** Hey everyone, my roommates and I recently bought a used Sony KDF-55E2000 Projection TV. The TV has HDMI, component, composite, and S-video inputs. My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T400. I think the only input I have is a 15-pin VGA. Before we bought the TV, we would use...

    Porsche 918 Spyder concept.

    If this were to go into production, my vote would be for the GT. The 918 just doesn't do it for me. It's too un-porschelike. Too futuristic. Too "look at me". They did a good job with the front, but everywhere else looks, to me, like it was designed by one of those random companies that...

    HDTV Upgrade: 32" to 55"

    If you can buy your top 2 or 3 TV picks from a store that has a no-restocking-fee return policy, I would do that and compare the TVs at your home, side by side. We have a Panasonic P54G10 54" plasma. We like it. The P54V10 (the V10 is a higher model than the G10) was out of our price range so...

    2004 Lexus LS430 vs 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited...HELP!

    I think making a list of pros/cons will be a good step forward. I'm busy with school right now, but at the end of the week, I think I'll start making one. It's a tough decision for us. Zoiks, I'm just curious, what's the oldest used car you're willing to buy? We generally keep our cars...

    2004 Lexus LS430 vs 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited...HELP!

    Thanks for the replies. Btw, this car is for my dad. woodie1, what trim Avalon do you have? If you have the XLS or Limited, what do you think of the "luxury" items? Also, have you had any problems with the car in the last 2 years? To compare the cost of ownership, is there anywhere I...

    2004 Lexus LS430 vs 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited...HELP!

    Showing its age as in from the design you can tell it's an older car? Or at 140k miles, the car feels tired?

    2004 Lexus LS430 vs 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited...HELP!

    CLIFFS AT BOTTOM Hey everyone, after a LOT of research, test-driving, and a near-purchase experience, we're looking at getting either a used 2007ish Toyota Avalon, or an older (2004ish) Lexus LS430. We have driven both. Our budget is around $15k cash (if it goes over, it'll be financed, but...

    Car shopping, what else should I look at?

    What about the Lexus GS? It's RWD. The Acura RL is AWD. I'm pretty sure the Infiniti M45 is RWD. It's gotten great reviews.

    Adding Aftermarket Leather Seats and Wood Trim

    brblx, certified pre-owned is out of the budget. My dad knows about CPO cars, and I know he won't get one if it costs $5k more. Is there a site that compares CPO to 3rd party companies?

    Adding Aftermarket Leather Seats and Wood Trim

    herm0016, that's my goal. Instead of a base 2008 Avalon XL with 50k miles, I'd like him to get a higher model 2006 Avalon with 80k miles that has everything he already wants in it. I just need all the facts when I talk to him to convince him it's a better idea to buy a car that comes with...

    Adding Aftermarket Leather Seats and Wood Trim

    Thanks for the quick replies everyone. Jules addressed this, but I guess the real question is: realistically, how much would it cost to convert the seats from cloth to leather, and how much to add wood trim? Also, we are in Northern California (specifically, the San Francisco Bay Area)...

    Adding Aftermarket Leather Seats and Wood Trim

    Hey everyone, my dad's looking to get a new (used) car SOON (like in the next 2 days). He's really interested in the Avalon right now. The Avalon XL (base model without leather and wood trim) with good miles is in his price range. He would really like leather, and preferably wood trim...

    Calibrating an HDTV...Why do I need to hire a professional?

    Care to share your settings? :D Also, did you just use the G10 owner's thread on AVS Forums, or was there another thread that helped you? Thanks.

    Calibrating an HDTV...Why do I need to hire a professional?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I've found them very helpful. So, just a follow up question. While using someone else's settings will likely not give me the best picture possible, will it at least provide a better picture than the out-of-the-box settings? We are happy with the...

    Calibrating an HDTV...Why do I need to hire a professional?

    Hey guys. My question may be stupid but when calibrating a TV, why does one need to get a professional? Why can't I just use the settings someone else has on their own professionally-calibrated set? We recently bought a Panasonic G10. I know my dad won't pay for a professional calibration...

    Recommend a new HDTV + Home Theater speakers. Budget: $2000

    You could go to Costco. I think they only have the S14 (and not the G10), though. But if you're satisfied with the AR coating of the S14, the G10 has a better AR coating iirc. If you can't get one, though, there are good LCD's out. If it works, it works.

    Recommend a new HDTV + Home Theater speakers. Budget: $2000

    We have a 54" Panasonic G10. It can easily be had for <$1500 after tax/shipping/etc. (we got our's from Sears). We had a Sharp 52" LCD from Costco to compare it to. We have a LOT of ambient light in the room. The Anti-Reflective coating on the G10 is pretty good at taking out glare. It was...

    In the early stages of looking, 6k to 8.5k

    I would go with a sedan. Imo, they're a lot more practical than a coupe (I have one now :/ ), and WAY more practical than a 2 passenger vehicle. And assuming this will be your only car, I would definitely stick with a sedan. I don't know much about the cars you listed, but I would go with a...

    My wife decided on(and bought)this camera while I was at work

    You can check out the Canon HF200. Great reviews, same price range. It's a solid HD camera. But I'm not an expert on camcorders. All I know is Canons are great, and I'm looking to get one for the family.

    New HDTV Purchase

    I'm not very knowledgeable in this, but I always thought Vizio was more of a budget brand. What we did before making our decision was we bought one LCD and one Plasma, and did a side by side comparison at home to see which one we liked better. The Panasonic P50G10 or P54G10 (50" and 54"...

    Audi is the KING of functional concepts!

    I think the A7 is a real winner, and it's priced well, too. The only think I didn't like was the dash...it looks empty. I think replacing the pop-out navigation with a standard one that's always visible would be more attractive. It may not look as "futuristic", but I think it would look...

    Considering G10 Plasma TV

    We recently go the G10. We had a new LCD in the house to compare it to and the G10's AR coating was as good, if not better, than the LCD's. It is definitely better than a CRT. But there IS still some glare. We watch TV/movies/play games on the TV (and it's great) but we aren't videophiles...

    HOT! Sony BRAVIA 52" KDL-52W5100 1080p HDTV + Sony Wi-Fi Blu-ray Player $1,340.91

    So I'm not too familiar with Amazon Prime, but I believe most (if not all?) purchases have free 2-day shipping for Amazon Prime members. And Amazon Prime is free for the first 90 days I think.

    Considering G10 Plasma TV

    Sorry to thread jack, but does the S14 (or S-series in general) have the same AR coating as the G-series? Also, iirc, the G15 has a different AR coating than the G10, doesn't it?

    ~52" HDTV Recommendations Needed ($1300)

    Whoiswes, I'm going to look into that. The jump from S to G might not be justifiable for $200. Then again, I haven't seen either TV in person so maybe it is...but thanks for letting me know about the deal. Hopeless and Rivethead, thanks for the data. Blackangst1, I agree, Costco is amazing...
