It has to be a family car, me and the 3 kids, school bags, groceries, football/sport of the moment equipment, all at the same time. Hypermiler, handles like a Miata, oh and a babe magnet: for $1000.
I feel like Peter Parker trying to compete with the jocks new Prowler, and circling a TR-3 in the paper... what I want isn't what I can afford. You can't have everything at once, so I'll go with a cheap sedan or wagon.
Unfortunately, gas prices have made some of my favorites expensive. Econo boxes with 150k mi are asking $3000, while a similar ford taurus goes for $600. $2400 is a lot of gas. At a 15mpg differential it equals out in about 9 years with the amount I'm going to use it. At that rate I'd rather have a comfy car (buick) than an econo box (kia sephia).
I'm biased toward foreign (esp German) cars, but there is almost no one in the area that really works on them. Here there are a the american dealerships and small mechanics who work on... cars from american dealerships. And everyone (except me and the kids it seems) prefers full size trucks.
Oh, and front wheel drive.
