yeah especially the out-of-state stuff like Maryland, Delaware, Pennsy... and also Chris and I shared the car for a little bit while I was still workin, so it was a lot of driving, to and from work, dropping each other off, and stuff. And trips to North Carolina, and visiting north Jersey to see my family, it ADDS UP like crazy.
anyway so if someone had a car for 10 years and only has about 100K, that means less than 10K miles per year, so the car (engine and stuff) is probably in great condition. I would think.
we test drove the '96 audi yesterday. i have to say, the outside of it was in great condition. i didnt see hardly any dings or scratches in it. buuut, it's a 6 cylinder, and we really wanted a 4. and for a 6 cyl. it doesnt have the best pickup...but that might be cuz it's AWD. i dunno. she put a brandnew 10 cd changer/mp3 player in it. but the leather looks like it's cracking and the inside looks kinda beat up. but thats why it's only $7500. ohh, what to do..........
we also test drove a '99 accord coupe, that was REALLY nice, in perfect condition. but i kinda have my heart set on an audi. blahhh. car shopping is so difficult on a budget. haha
(well, maybe it would be more difficult if we had no budget..then there would be WAY too many choices) lol
