What is your next car going to be?

I like where you are going with this. :beer2:

You know the drill.

Well said and agreed.

:meh:

It depends on how much you drive. I may spend $50k on a car and still consider gas mileage. Why? I drive 25,000 miles a year, at today’s cost that’s $5k in gas monies in my LGT (20MPG avg, $3.95/gallon 93 OCT). If I looked at something that was happy with regular, and could get an easily achievable 30MPG I’d save nearly $2k/yr. If I own the car for 5 years, that’s 20% of the price of the car in gas savings. Meaning all things being equal, my $50k 20MPG could be argued to cost me $60k after gas compared to its 30MPG counterpart. Not to mention that Ill assume the extra 10MPG penalty came with a bigger engine / car that ate tires and other consumables and probably has higher insurance rates.

Just because I can afford a $50k car, hardly makes me suddenly less fiscally responsible :shrug:

That said, the intent of your post is right, and most people are worried because they spent 75% of their paycheck on the car and can’t cover the gas bills :mamoru:

An Ex-Cop car…

There is maybe 3-4 people in here who MIGHT actually get the car they posted. As far as I go. I only buy celica’s b/c i’m a moron so if they ever make that RWD turbo one then thats the next car I will buy. Untill then I will D.I.A.F or just drive the car I have now until I die.

I’m thinking of an '02 or '03 Range Rover for the DD, and possibly an older Boxter for a fun 2 seater. Then the FD can get tuned on race gas and 30psi.

I KEEPS IT REAL!

06/07 sub 30Kmi red TSX w/black leather, no navi, 5spd auto. this will happen in spring/summer 09, whenever i get my next year’s contract. love the edmunds reviews, love the price, consumer reports has good things… sharp, reliable ride with gas mileage identical to the GSR. i can swing the maintenance costs, insurance is low, numerous safety features, HIDs… can’t go wrong there. very excited :slight_smile:

thorough research is greater than star

you might be a nazi. lol

I’m looking for an 05 evo viii. If the new ralliart’s come out before that though I may broaden to that or a evo ix.

If you guys know of any for sale let me know. thx…

TDI Jetta of some sort would be my next investment as a DD, definately keeping the Z28!
