As a lot of people know, at the beginning of the month, I was in a car accident and totaled my Geo Prizm (aka Lucille). So...now I am without a vehicle and it SUCKS! I feel like I'm in high school all over again...needing my mom to drive me everywhere or only getting to borrow her car when she doesn't need it. Actually...this is even worse than high school, because I've had a car since I was 15; this is the first time I haven't had a vehicle in 13 years...wow. That's depressing.
If I had an unlimited amount of funding, car shopping would be awesome. I could get whatever I wanted and be done. But, because I'm trying to stay under $7,000 (so I can just buy the car outright and not need to go through financing), this is a pain in the ass, to say the least.
I actually really kind of want a woody Jeep Wagoneer. It's too bad they stopped making them in the early '90s. I've always wanted one, though (preferably navy blue, like the one on the far right). I can't find any for sale remotely close to me. Aside from that, those things usually have a V8, so I'd be spending lots of money at the pump. :( They remind me of the beach and California and summertime, for some reason.
I'm trying to find either a Volkswagen Jetta or Passat or a Ford Focus. I've been finding I either have to sacrifice mileage or the age of the car. I just want something that is from the early 2000s with around 100,000 miles. Why is this so hard to ask?!
Whoever said car shopping is fun never had to do so on a budget...
