Best used prices, maybe, but for 5-10% more, you can get a GM or Ford.

Two years old and less than all but the cheapest subcompacts cost. I suspect that the drivetrain is a bit more robust than a Rio.

But still boring as a box of rocks. I would probably be more likely to consider a Focus ZTS or ST with a 5spd. I never thought I would miss my Contour like this.

Morons who fill the tank all the way up to the top of the filler pipe.

I decided to get a few more miles out of my current ride. I took the money and put it in the market, hopefully it won't tank now. Maybe if it does really well, I won't have to be so budget conscious

How about DAMAGE discounts? by voxboy

Is it foolish to knowingly buy a car with frame and/or undercarriage damage?

Unless you're in the autobody repair business, I'd say it's idiotic.

So at end of year I went and checked out a '04 330Xi, which was beautiful but at 30k, about 8-10k over budget. I did like the 6spd manual and not needing to change gears to pass. There are a few 325xi models around, but they are like 28k which is still 6-8k over budget. They also don't get quite as good mileage for some reason as the 3.0ls.
I also looked at a new Scion xA. The one I drove, which didn't have cruise or a radio was over 16k because of a body kit and special hub caps (but still crummy stock tires). I can think of many ways I would rather spend 16k.
Two weeks in a Prius made me appreciate my 15 year old Accord. I bought the muffler patching stuff and we will try to get to spring on what I have now.
