ok so you just got a job that requires you to drive 50000 - 80000 per annum and you have a car allowance granted to you for payments/Insurance. your getting around $450 so that leave about 250 - 275 for a car payment (8 - 12G est).
So what car would you buy??
p.s. you already have a nice 240sx for a Fun driver so performance is not overly important.
I have also been think something like a
1998-99 A42.8
2002 Ford excape (better on gas then the audi and also good for lugging stuff around)
2000 Subie Legacy Gt
Jetta Tdi
Oh, if you end up getting a Yaris, pirate it out. Take off the “is”, put on a couple of “r” s an put jolly roger stickers on it. Invest in a parrot too if you can.
Marc is right a Yaris is your best bet, they are great on fuel and very reliable, yes a TDI is even better on fuel but being a VW it’s reliability doesn’t even come close to a Yaris and the cost of parts on a tdi are not either.
Plus Uncle Yaris is from Europe!
My cousin back home has a Yaris and they realy are great cars. Either way good luck with whatever you purchase.
