Alright, this is nothing definitive, but I got my stock market statement today and I have more money then I thought I did in it. I'm thinking about a new car, either before winter or in the spring (probably more along the lines of spring time). However, I would like to start getting some ideas so I can do some research and get some test drives in.
With the money from the market and the value of my truck I'm looking at about $20,000 for a car. Yes I want a car, no trucks or SUV's. A hatchback or an estate is ok though, I'd have no problem driving either one. I don't really want a coupe but I'd be fine with one. So ideally a saloon car.
I don't require something blisteringly fast. I do require, however a car that is comfortable.
I'm not opposed to used cars but only ones 3 or 4 years old and that I can get with less the 35,000 miles on it. I would love a new car but all the new cars I can find are crap in that price range.
So far these are the cars I've looked at:
- 2006 Nissan Altima, 4 cylinder, 34,000 miles, $16,000
- 2005 Subaru Legacy GT, 4 cylinder turbo, 35,000 miles, $19,500
- 2003 BMW 325i, 6 cylinder, 30,000 miles, $19,500
Like I said this might not come to pass for a little while yet, but I would like to start thinking about it. Any help would be appreciated.
