I am looking to purchase a new or used car for about 20,000. I am in love with my 02 WRX, but open to new idea

Question

My 02 wrx got smashed up twice (once when parked, once rear ended) and this time it is not worth it to get it fixed. I am looking for something comparable in performance, but I honestly do not care. My natural tastes range towards fast, and I am an avid music lover. During the year I do about 400 miles of driving per weekend. shoot!

Answer 1

my mom just bought the new 2008 chevy malibu 2 days ago. It is amazing. it gets 30 miles a gallon and looks kinda like a sporty car. It costs around 21,000. It has on star (navagation system) you can call ppl hands free (your car has its own tele #), you can plug in your ipod, Xm radio....and much more. You should def look it up.

Answer 2

I guess you should also check insurance quotes for the car before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.noneto.com

Such a car may cost a lot to insure.

Answer 4

I used to own a 2002 bugeye as well. It seriously broke my heart to see her go. The WRX is truly a wonderful vehicle.

After much research and test drives, I purchased a Cadillac CTS-V. To be honest with you, after my first drive I've never looked back. Extremely comparable handling with a h**l of a lot more power. Braking is much better and the car looks wonderful. Major selling point was the rear wheel drive, Z06 motor, and T56 transmission. Still get goose-bumpes driving the car. It was hard going from foreign to domestic, but if you turn your own wrenches, you'll be like me. I don't think I'll ever buy another foreign vehicle.

Word of advice. Don't watch the WRX drive away when you sell it. It's a terrible feeling. Just do it and don't look back.
