dagibbsIt just might be time to think about replacing my car. There's a few things wrong with it right now -- all fixable, but some could be costly. I'm thinking I could hit the $2000-4000 range. (Something in the rear suspension, power-steering, tires are old, windshield is cracked, I think the brakes are drifting to needing overhaul, etc.)
There are advantages to new, and advantages to used. One of the big advantages to new is getting the car I want -- in particular there just aren't as many manual transmission cars on the used markets as there are automatic.
I would, once again, be looking for a small, 4-door, manual vehicle with moderate conveniences at a not-too-bad price. (I do really appreciate remote entry/exit, and power windows for the front seats are quite handy -- I like to be able to raise/lower the passenger window easily even if I don't have a passenger, and power-mirror adjust is, also, really handy for the passenger-side mirror.)
