I thought I would make an introduction. I’m Ashley! My hubby and I have just traded our ML320 Benzo in on a 2003 325xi sport wagon. This is essentially MY car since I am the one toting our 9 month old hellion (aka Owen) around. Ok, so my proverbial BMW cherry has been popped. I can't believe how freaking great this car is, where has it been? I had been hemming and hawing about how boring and uninteresting our ML was plus I hate auto, so we went to start looking at what we could get. Sticking with German was a must. I had already owned a Jetta and did not want to go down that crappy road again. We went and looked at Audi (I know, glorified VW), I test drove the A4 quatro wagon and had a good time in it. I really liked it except it was so loud, I felt like my ass was scraping the pavement it was so loud. Then to top it off our salesman was sleazy and too pushy. We started perusing http://www.parkplaceltd.com/ my husband found the wagon on there, but I wouldn’t consider it because it had steptronic. My hubby works at Discount Tire and got a hook up with Ryan at Park Place. So I call him and he immediately tells me about this wagon my husband had seen, I told him I wasn’t interested in it because it wasn’t a stick. He told me to just drive it because this thing was cherry, I agreed. I drove it and never looked back. This thing felt so good, I felt so connected to it I might as well have been driving a stick. It is fully loaded too, nav, H/K stereo, Orient Blue, sport package, winter package (what else can you use the ski bag for?), low miles….I could go on and on and on…obviously I am already. Anyhoo, not only do I LOVE this car, the experience of buying it was second to NONE…seriously Park Place in Bellevue, WA is THE only place I will go from now on.
Well a little about me and mine, we just moved to the Seattle area from Flagstaff, AZ 3 weeks ago. My husband (Pete) transferred with Discount Tire (you can imagine the first upgrade that has already been done and it hasn’t even been a week, Yokes AVS sports) and for the moment I am a stay at home mom until I get my business off the ground which is GIS (mapmaking). We are 30 somethings and love our cars. Pete is a Porsche head…or all things aircooled if you will. Right now we have a 1976 VW Transporter, the BMW, and a 1974 Porsche 914. We sold a 1968 VW Fastback and a 1971 911E right before we moved here. We are total suckers to the oil industry (sad as it sounds) it’s like a bad addiction you can’t quit.
Okay I’ll wrap it up here, thanks if you made it this far. I am sure I will be posting a lot more as time moves along.
