Replying to: xienon (Nov 04, 2003 3:30 pm) Here's the dilema - My pocket book is getting killed b/c I have an 03 Chevy Crew Cab Diesel fully loaded with canopy that's sporting about 13.7MPG in town = $60-$70/week. I'm a Realtor, and needless to say I drive too much! I own it free and clear. My wife and I are thinking we need to buy a VW Passat, V6-4 motion. Found a great 03 w/ 25k miles fully loaded for $24k. Question 1: Should I buy it? I could pay cash and sell my truck on my own..., or is that even smart? or trade the truck for what I feel is $5000 less than what I can get on my own? Question 2: Will it make sense in the long run? Please Advise

| Figure out what your gas savings would be per year and subtract what the new car would cost. I'm guessing $24,000 would buy a lot of gas. So I guess my advice would be to stick with the truck. | |

Isn't always amazing that people are always recommending a website on their first post on Edmunds???

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Oct 13, 2005 8:11 am) I just happen to think that being able to interact with other members in the Forums and ask questions, follow-up questions, and get advice from several people is a better value than a non-interactive guide

(free at the local dealer) I thought there was a line in the member agreement here that we wouldn't advertise... Oh yeah, here it is...

Can anyone give me advice on the best time to buy a convertible? I am really wanting an 06 Mustang GT convertible but do not know whether it would be best to wait until late spring or buy now. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. My gut tells me now would be the best time b/c of supply/demand but my pocket book says wait! Any other helpful information is welcome as well! Thank you in advance! Happy new year to all!
