I would second ky's suggestion on the Impreza. Probably could get into one for right around $200/mo and the AWD would work well here in Colorado. If I absolutely, positively had to get a car tomorrow, I'd lean towards an Impreza lease and cash out the equity I have in the L300.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 27, 2009 7:18 am) I'm hoping the L makes it until June of 2011, which is when the ION will be paid off. Since the L only has 78K on it and I'm driving about 10K per year, I should be just over the 100K mark when that time comes.

Replying to: michaell (Jan 27, 2009 7:22 am)  Not sure yet... My son will be 16 1/2 when the lease is up, and eligible for his full license, which may mean buying him a beater... So, I'd like to say that I'll be getting a MINI, but if I'm shelling out $300/mo. for car insurance for the family, it may be something cheaper.. My wife's lease isn't up until 15 months after that.... We usually don't lease both cars, but the Impreza deal/trade-in was too good to pass up.. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 27, 2009 7:29 am) I may be at the soup kitchen soon too; the stock mkt. crash has really screwed up my house/condo buying plans, or even my 2nd car idea, say a used Z4. (Frankly I could still pull off a used $20K-ish car w/o hurting myself too much, lots of interesting ads in the Dec. Roundel). Altho "investing" (AKA, gambling) in the stock mkt. makes buying a 2nd or 3rd used car at a good price seem positively sensible......I'd bet even newish Porsche 911's have held up better.....

Replying to: dad23 (Jan 26, 2009 12:18 pm) I hear that Mitsubishi has some great deals - lease and finance. Would you consider any American cars? Good luck on your search! |
