I Am The Worst Car Shopper Ever.

[PyRo]

Ebay cars 60% of the time are on ebay because people don't want the buyer to actually see the car before buying it.

Yeah, the Audis do get that cheap that quick.

In my search for the perfect Corrado, I ended up starting to look at audies, I could find 95's and 96's for around 5k. Luckily I found my Rado though

2002 WRX? Cough....

0-60 in 5.6 seconds
Turbocharged AWD with center viscous coupling and Limited Slips.
Pick up a used one for cheap...

[Thordic]

Are you on crack, Butterfingers? A 2002 WRX is still worth like $19,000. Thats approximately twice what I'm willing to spend on a new car. There is no way you'd get one for $10K.

I found another mustang, going to look at that tonight.

[Butterfingers]

opps didnt read the price range...

[Thordic]

I'd love to get a WRX but they are way too new to get a cheap used one. My friend just got a 2004 WRX, man, so nice.

[Muzikman]

This is why I buy new. I will always buy new from now on. Speaking of which...I need a new car...

Good luck! I know how you feel. It took me 10 months to buy my Explorer. I analyze each car to death.

As for the Ford, doesn't/didn't Ford run a real low lease deal on the 6 cyl Mustang recently! Also, when you go to your local dealer, ask about program cars. You can usually get a better deal on them and a somewhat decent warranty.

Ill get you one for about 6k. Then again it will probably have a salvage title and need 20k of body work :)

There is one on ebay for 6k, it just had a little head on :)
Another for 5k thats just a little rolled :)


Look into toyota pickup trucks, apparently they are indestructable :)

mmm Corrado. I'd love to find me a good condition one. My 02 GTI will have to live on

1DE - I wouldn't lease a car, too much of a hassle. I'd rather own something than make payments on something I have to give back.

But tonight I go look at a white mustang convertible. A little bit on the feminine side as far as mustangs go, but I'll deal with it. Hopefully this one works out.

Just so I can understand this thread a little better what is a program car? Is that the term you guys use for the cars the salemen drive ie a demo model? Or something else?

[theraidenproject]

Check the link I posted above, then spend the extra $2500 getting it running.

sometimes they list demos in their program cars, but mostly it consists of fleet returns. mostly from car rental (or car hire for you :) ) places. they get new cars every year so when the new ones come in the give the 1 year old cars back to the manuf.


my mom had a toyota corolla she bought as a progarm car. drove it for 10 years and it ran like a top the whole time. them toyotas are something else.
