What would be a good daily driver for around 10-15k(favoring more towards 10K)? I live in NW Indiana, I drove my cobra a total of probably 800 miles this year. I was going to trade it in for a really good deal. But, the dealership tried to switch the deal at the last moment.
Really long story, to sum it up, we agreed on a deal. They sent paperwork to my bank, my bank cut a check. When I got there (2.5 hr drive) they tried to change the deal by $2.5k, I told them that the car rode on drag radials and I didnt drive it in the rain. When I got there a downpour started. To quote them, "this car sucks in the rain?" I said yes, they said "well, with the winter coming, we might not be able to get rid of this car so I dont want to take it on trade." Then they came and said that they could do the deal for $2.5k more. So, naturally I told them to **** OFF, and drove 40mph home, taking roads that no traffic were on. Took me 6 hours to get home.
I had a awesome D.D. (2004 nissan pathfinder LE, platinum edition) that I let go for a dirt cheap price ($11.5k w / 50k miles) because I thought I was getting rid of the cobra and would be able to consolidate down to one car. In order to get back into another pathfinder like mine, it would be around $15k. So what other cars in that price range do any of you suggest?
It must fit these qualities
-drive all year round in any weather
-be between $10-15k ( I could go higher but, I dont want to put my money on it)
-be dependable
-it will take me to and from work and be nice enough to drive somewhere and not have the gf embarassed to get out of.
-hopefully have a warranty.
So far, I have on my list
- VW Jetta
-Nissan pathfinder
-wrx
-f-150
-Passat
That is all right now and all this is if I decide to keep my cobra. I have another dealer that is offering me a pretty good chunk of money for it. But, as in the other posts, I drive this car and can't seem to part with it. I absolutely love it, it is like a drug. Any other suggestions?
