Yeah. see. exactly my point (THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.)
my current car is ok...but not good. getting a new car IS difficult. down payments, interest rates, insurance transitioning, paying tax, etc. so annoying. every time i think about getting a brand new car...i think...5 years of payments...and at the end, i'm paying the same $350/month for a 5 year old car...WHYYYYYYY...i don't get that. stupid.
i am also not a good saver.
anyway, i'm thinking about...
Nissan Altima (thanks, bryan)
Mazda 626 (not too old - this car is suprisingly not expensive)
Hyndai Sante Fe (do not laugh - this sport utility has a V6 and gets 26 MPG)
Nissan Pathfinder (it's a little out of my reach, and bigger than i need, but DEFINITELY a "i am an adult i can put 4 car seats in the back" truck)
Hey! I just read your away message. Did I say anything about wanting you buy YOU a Passat? Call me delusional, but I don't remember that.
