If you have that kind of money, buy a 5k car, put the money toward school, and get your degree without burying yourself in student loan debt. ---

if you primary concern the ford fusion was ranked the second most replable car I think by consumer reports and they start in the 17,999 for the 4 cylinder (only one you can get in stick) the 6 cylinder starts at 21K and the AWD (V6/6sp auto only) starts at 24K leather +$900 audiophile 8 speaker +420 5 year 60 warranty. edit: the grey interior is pretty ugly but the tan and black look really good. ---

say what you want but my expierence with ford has been a positive one for the most part. superbeater… its black and stick and quick. the rusty ranger… ok that was a POS but it still ran and drove good some how 220K + on my SHO still runs killed some trannies but I don’t drive easy. 130K on my old 88 taurus still see it around once and a while. never had any major service (my mom bought it new) 192K on my saturn and it broke a valve. to each their own. ---
