while paging thru the Autoshopper. In the 7500 price range I would probably get a Mazda Protege5. A good value and reliability along with usefulness. A front wheel drive Escape would also be a good buy. There were so many made a cheap one with under 100k miles should be easy to find. I like boomer's Axiom idea, they were neat when they came out, the only problem I had with them was that they were gas pigs.

Replying to: guss (Nov 08, 2009 5:09 pm) As for Andre's post, the midsize sedan at this price is a tough one. First thought was Mazda6, since Mazdas don't usually hold value like the Toy-Hon-ssan group, but after a quick look, these seem to be holding their value well and not really falling to under $7500. No luck on a Malibu Maxx, either. I found a Ford Five Hundred with 74k miles  7995, but would be leery of that CVT, We all know Andre isn't a Ford guy anyhow  (Also while looking, I saw a 08 Kia Rondo V6 for $9500 with 40k miles. That could be a sweet deal for someone looking for a practical used car.)

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 07, 2009 11:02 am) I'll also confess that I like the 2001-2006 Stratus/Sebring sedans, but I don't like the 4-cyl they use in them... For $7500, you can almost get a current-generation Avenger/Sebring.  I'm not sure they're more desirable than the previous-gen, and probably have the same 4-cylinder that you don't like.

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 09, 2009 4:42 am) So you despise your MS3?

Replying to: tifighter (Nov 09, 2009 10:42 am) Yes; I thought that the MS3 would be an entertaining change from my usual Bavarian RWD iron. Wrong. Annoying and boring are the best adjectives I can use to describe the MS3 driving experience... |
