New Car?

Well I think it might be time to go car shopping. I love my Neon, it’s great, fair gas milage, but its used, well used by me, and previously my mom as well going back and forth to Delano for work, but lately its starting to show signs of aging, and while at some level I know a lot of the stuff could be fixed by some cold, hard, cash - bottom line is if I wanted to fix it up to what I’d “LIKE” it to be, I’d need to replace a lot of rubber on the car (lot of it is cracking) - heck I can’t goto a car wash as my sun roof leaks.

So I think it may be time to do some shopping for automobiles, Ford Focus looks nice, nice 5 speed matching what I have in the Neon - usual hooplah like CD/MP3/AC - for about 15k - probably get 2-3k trade-in on my Neon - and I can easily put down 1-2k extra I’d imagine if the rest of this month goes as planned - hopefully get payments right around 200 a month if at all humanly possible.

If anyone has a sub 20k costing car suggestion, please speak up, I’d really like to keep it around 15k if at all possible, but cars are expensive now days I guess :)

Well thats my random thought for the moment, I am going to go try to sleep I guess. Night.

for the love of all the cars in the world. Don’t buy a Ford Focus!!! They are evil cars. Don’t do it! Get a Honda or even a Toyota, but don’t get a Ford.

Rebuddle: I own a Ford Focus, 5 speed, MTX tranny. It has been such an amazing car, and I love it; I’d die for it. I actually bought this car because on the way back from LA some jerk rear ended my 01 Dodge Neon. I’m in loveee. :)

Honda Accord. Used, sub-20’s. Good mileage, holds value. I like mine. :)
