New Cars

Who is getting a new car within the next 6 months? If so, what do you plan on getting?

I am - right now, looking at the 08 Mazda 3 or the 08 VW Jetta

I like the Jetta's interior quality better, but the reliability of the Mazda has me leaning that way heavily - also a few thousand cheaper, which is always a good thing.

Other cars I considered:
VW Rabbit (too expensive, not reliable enough)
Saturn Astra (didn't like the look)
Honda Civic (didn't like the look)
Scion tC (decided I wanted a little bit nicer car)
Mitsubishi Lancer (wanted a nicer car, seats uncomfortable, seemed too much like a 'teenagers first car' for some reason)

Any other thoughts?

I am.
Honda Civic SI

240 or Eclipse GSX

Next YEAR and 6 months, Turbo Cobalt SS.

within a month, something for $1000 ish

Hmm....also looking at Fiero's as a project car.... I'll just save until I make up my mind.

Smart man My new buick is ballin, less then 2 grand and it still hits 28mpg

Well I was aiming for a Grand Prix GTP. But it's annoying to fin one right now, so i'm just going to spray my car, and fix some other dumb **** with it.

I just picked up an 04 Sequoia today. So no new car in 6 months.. I got it for a steal because I came with cash while the economy is sucking and gas prices are high. And yes I've made peace with 13mpg with gas nearing $4 a gallon

^ That should get better fuel mileage then 13, no? I thought those were near 20's?

I'd say I'm averaging 16 or so in the 50 miles I've driven it.. if I had to guess.. but the mpg thing reads 13.5 as the average.

I'm going to buy a 1995 Honda Accord w/ 105,XXX miles for $1,500. Beater car to drive back and forth to work.

Having a new car is overated. It just took me a **** ton of money, to realize that.

I want $0 a month car payment, with that who cares about MPG.

i agree i had a brand new car 4 months later it got hit and totaled now i just waste my money on my old 88 pick up. new cars are to expensive stock get an old one throw the extra cash into moding it.

New car, I agree - I'm looking for more the "almost new car that people had repo'd that only has 10K miles on it"

Almost new, few thousand cheaper...like those much better.

Maybe you would be interested in my truck then, haha.

I agree here as well. But my definition of "new car" is new to me. So my "new" 1995 Honda Accord isn't technically new in any way, shape, or form. But I still call it my new car.

I think I found it.

Says it needs a new rear end, I know nothing about this stuff. Guess it is time to learn.

Hopefully BMW 128i Coupe or some sort of loaded truck. Haven't decided yet.

S2000

i got one, 2008 nissan altima white 2.5

Okay, because of unforseen financial reasons, I probably won't be getting an S2000 any time soon. I'm a pretty sad panda now.
