if you were currently in the market for a new vehicle

i pay off my car in july and want to trade it in for a new car payment

5/2/2010 2:26:13 PM

Honda

5/2/2010 2:27:54 PM

car payment = fail

5/2/2010 2:28:19 PM

i know right. i'm actually most likely going to hold out for a few years and enjoy the benefits of no payment, but it might be fun to throw some money away on a new transport

5/2/2010 2:29:20 PM

brand, price point, or vehicle type?

5/2/2010 2:29:31 PM

5/2/2010 2:30:16 PM

yaris :3

5/2/2010 2:30:43 PM

5/2/2010 2:31:42 PM

cheap hondas off craigslist

disposable cars ftw

5/2/2010 2:33:05 PM

lol i was gonna say 370z but i guess that's out

also i guess it would be a bit impractical for your family situation

5/2/2010 2:35:26 PM

^^ nah, it's all good. punchmonk says she trusts me to make the right decision

5/2/2010 2:36:17 PM

a mitsubishi of some sort if no toyotas or nissans (i assume that includes lexus and infinit too?)

5/2/2010 2:36:22 PM

save your $$$

buy a lexus or fun car in 3 years before Maya grows up and crashes the cars.

5/2/2010 2:37:31 PM

acura or audi

5/2/2010 2:40:59 PM

This:



Get one.

5/2/2010 2:57:26 PM

seriously, an Evora. It has back seats for the kid, dog and groceries. It gets 30+ mpg. It looks like sex. It's a smooth, quiet ride. It's lightning fast.

5/2/2010 3:07:45 PM

Jetta TDI FTW

5/2/2010 3:08:46 PM

saw that Bugatti^ and now....

DO WANT!!

30+ miles per imperial gallon

Still a sweet car, though. I'm sure I'll see a few out here in LA at some point.

5/2/2010 3:24:13 PM

5/2/2010 3:24:54 PM

a 79 corvette w/ t-tops

it gets 27 city and 32 highway in US gallons, dawg

5/2/2010 3:49:40 PM

I WILL own this someday!!!!

5/2/2010 3:59:01 PM

Where are you finding those numbers?

5/2/2010 3:59:08 PM

This thread is really going well.

5/2/2010 4:02:10 PM

honda/acura

5/2/2010 4:11:50 PM

^^i know right

at least somebody recommend a damn dodge caravan or something

[Edited on May 2, 2010 at 4:12 PM. Reason : .]

5/2/2010 4:12:21 PM

I'm actually looking at snagging a subaru legacy. With the 2.5 and the CVT you can get 31mpg highway. You can also opt for the much larger, more powerful engine and have a very fun car that's still safe and practical.

5/2/2010 4:16:42 PM

yeah, get a legacy gt

fun to drive, tons of room, easy to fix

the only problem is that you have to get OEM parts for a lot of stuff, which will cost more than normal sourcing channels you'd use for a honda or toyota

5/2/2010 4:20:22 PM

Honda Civic
(biased)

5/2/2010 4:41:04 PM

I am currently in the market for a new (to me) truck

my budget is $5500-6k

i require:
-extended or crew cab
-full size bed
-4x4
-v8
-tow package

i'd prefer:
-manual trans.
-tool box
-easily removable camper shell
-~3" lift, tires/wheels to match

i'd like:
-flowmasters/straight pipes
-bedrails
-running board/rail
-dark color
-premium sound


any information leading to the capture of such a vehicle will be compensated in one free hauling of the object or objects of your choice

5/2/2010 4:41:44 PM

Hey I recommended a reasonable car!

5/2/2010 4:42:07 PM

my car recommendation is actually affordable

5/2/2010 4:54:35 PM

#1

or

#2

Both less than 50K miles, less than $15K. Whatever you do, why not save up and pay cash? If you're figuring $400/month for a payment you could save for around 2.5 years, then when you pull out your duffle full of benjamins they'll come down off that price.

5/2/2010 5:00:58 PM

woah there captain long links

5/2/2010 5:01:13 PM

did wwwebsurfer just out himself as a premie?

5/2/2010 5:03:31 PM

no, i think qntmfred edited it

5/2/2010 5:04:05 PM

no, i just did him a favor

5/2/2010 5:04:46 PM

^lol, thanks. If I had premie I'd be posting HTML all up in this sucka. Embedded polls would run rampant.

5/2/2010 5:10:48 PM

I liked my explanation better.

5/2/2010 5:11:44 PM

well i'd never get a new car - i'd go certified preowned

but i'd either get:

another honda accord

a subaru outback

or a volvo station wagon

/such a mom. lol.

5/2/2010 5:12:49 PM

Probably 911 or M3.

Maybe a Boxster or 135i...or a Corvette...or maybe an Elise.

Then there's a 3rd tier or a couple dozen cars that I'd buy if I found a killer deal...but I have a thing for fast German stuff.

[Edited on May 2, 2010 at 5:20 PM. Reason : well, yeah, none of them would be new, or probably even less than 5 years old.]

5/2/2010 5:18:58 PM

i want a 2000-01 Silverado, no frills, just for my weekend driver
