They're all 12k+ with 25k miles on them. Seems expensive to me considering most don't even have power windows.

kenchan 09-19-2016 02:52 PM

Sucks so good it's bad

In the past we have done that when people's schedules get busy around the holidays. I like most of my family so it is not too bad of a situation, just have to be prepared for it. :icon17:

She has the regular Note. Even more pricey hahahaha

I don't need a race car or something that will cross mountains. I need a nice little grandma car that gets decent mpg and fits my golf clubs with a few bags of groceries. I gave the Civic tons of crap because it was a "performance" sedan that was worse than a Mazda protege from 2002. I can't nor won't complain driving a Focus or Elantra because i know who and why they're made for. Point A to B transportation with comfy seats and a mediocre engine.

Yah Hyundai/Kia for the long warranty. Atleast ure covered in dat sense.

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:02 PM

The sad part about some of these cars is dey die as soon as warranty is done. Like my LG and maytag.. :ugh: so the longer the warranty the longer it will last. :ugh:

why not buy another cavalier or whatever it was that you had prior to the Z?
You seemed to like that car a lot and it is just a winter beater.

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:03 PM

My buddy got dat new RS400. Nice ride.

Both cars are from a local garage I take all my work to sicne he's family-friend related somehow. I doubt they come with a manufacturer warranty. Def come with a "donnie" warranty though. (Don's Garage)

Do they really die at 100k miles or whatever for the most part? I see fords and even crappy Tiburons still on the roads today that were made back in 2000. I know Ford gets a lot of crap, but haven't quality for them gotten better lately? Same with hyundai. They're almost respectable now from what I've seen and read. As long as the tranny doesn't blow, the engine doesn't grenade, or the suspension rust apart at 100k. Who am i to complain?

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:05 PM

For me winter is about survival so not sure getting any beater is a smart idea?

I guess uber to the rescue, huh?

Trust me, I looked. My exact model either has 200k miles on it for dirt cheap, or 13k+ for a low mileage from 2007. The base models aren't worth it. The other issue was that while i loved that damn car, it technically sucked. Rusted underneath easily, random stuff fell off underneath, and a lot of parts rattled like crazy. But my god was the steering and power beautiful. And was a tank in the snow.

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:08 PM

My Z is still sub-20k miles..

And i just rolled past 25k miles... It's killing me driving it every day. I feel much more engaged and in love with it when I treat it to weekends and special occasions only.

Thats crazy they are still that expensive. I figured you could pick one up for $6K in good condition.

Right. The Z is my don't need to drive cause I don't need to car. Won't be fun owning her if I had to worry about dings every faking day. :mad:

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:12 PM

My GTI is my beater.

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:13 PM

People ask me how many cars I own. I say one.. And 2 toys. :D

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:13 PM

Technically I own the wife's Fit too.. So two cars and two toys

kenchan 09-19-2016 03:15 PM

Next time I'm getting something nice. Now dat I found I can live with DSG.

Leingod 09-19-2016 03:15 PM

Best I could find. Poor thing has def been used and abused beyond hell. And it's not even a G85 package with the LSD, full brembo kit, and PSi gauge.
