Hmmmm.... Im thinking more and more about a speed 3. A friend just got a regular 3 hatch. I like them alot.:drool:

You like anything new and shiny :laugh:

You can get a speed 6 for just a little more than a 3. From what people have said, they offer discount upon discount for the 6 but they won't budge on the 3. For a lot of people it ends up being only like $3k more for the 6 than if they got the 3. Bigger, faster, AWD. Just don't have a dealer around here who sells them. :cry:

How hasn't your car been reliable?

:rolleyes: Lets not start on this. :laugh::laugh:

It has. But its getting to the point where I know something is gonna go wrong so im just waiting. And I would kinda like to have a car that still has some manufacturer warranty left.


I am still thinking about a GP.:drool:
 
I do know you like bigger cars, but would't you also like something with a 5 speed as well? Not that there is anything out there that is bigger with a 5 speed. :laugh: Grand Prixs are ok. Decent daily drivers with a little bit of go but not much. Handling isn't great but for something that big what are you going to do?

Maybe a Legacy?
 
I'll sell you a 99 accord 5-speed. its a honda, need i say more for reliability?

seriously though, just drive the mystique and like it. remember, i have 163,000 on my SVT and it still runs great. i had the one setback with the trany, but that was probably my own fault.

besides, a $1500 repair bill one time is still cheaper than making 350$ payments each month.

save up money, and buy a new car cash like tony said, or move out! believe me, rent is a whole lot easier when you dont have a car payment on top!
 
The subie might be up for sale soon. just has a small power stearing leak right now (about 1 bottle every 3-4 months), rear wiper motor is shot, rear defrost doesn't work, and a little bit of rust forming on the wheel wells. $2750 1996 Imprezza outback w/ 185K miles. Runs freakin' great. :shrug:

I have wanted a legacy for a long time. I just cant afford a 35k car right now. I really want an 08 Legacy 3.0 R. :drool::drool:

I would only be interested if it was a 5speed. We just sold an outback wagon at work that was a 5 speed. I kinda wanted to buy it.:laugh:

:drool::drool::drool::drool: :drool::drool::drool::drool:


That is all.
 
Meh... I have thought about it, but im not sure if I like those as much. :shrug: I dunno. I really like the looks of the newer style GP's. Just personal preferance I guess.
 
Hey, I know your dealership normally doesn't sell too many cars around the $5K range...but let me know what rolls in. Wife wants a newer car. AWD and sporty are what she wants. But she still wants something to haul the dog around in. :shrug: If you ever get a AWD older RAV 4 she might be interested in that as well.
 
You didnt answer my question... Is your subie a stick or auto?

I will keep an eye out and see what we have. Honestly I am about this [] close to quitting.


Edit: Speaking of Subies... I just remembered what I told my coworker today. I told him that I thought Toyota and Subaru should just merge, because they have the same problems. The drivetrains last FOREVER but the bodies rust to :censored::censored::censored::censored: before you get it off the lot new.:laugh:

Ummmm. NO... We do have a GS300 though. Its meh.. Just an overpriced RWD Toyota.


Hmmm. I will have to see if I can find a wagon with a 5 speed. They are alot of fun I think. I gotta find one cheap though. Thats the thing. They are all overpriced.:blackeye::blackeye:
 
yup, I seen it on there awhile ago. Not a fan of the tan interior. Im not finding Black/Mb around Minn. I do have Mb seats and console in the SE though !!
