i'm not terribly picky at the moment ... kinda like deanna ... as long as it runs and is paid off, i'm happy. but really, my ideal car is a civic hybrid. i would really love to have a volkswagen jetta (red, tyvm), but unless they come out with a hybrid ...

oh, uh, but the dyke in me kinda wants a jeep wrangler ... the kind with the open sides & open top. yeah.

It would be nice if the prices on those hybrids would come down a bit.

New they are about 21k. That's pretty cheap for a new car, isn't it ?

my parents are going to be in the market for a new car in the near future, and part of me totally wants them to get a pickup ...

Actually 21K for a new car, in my book IS ridiculous....but I'm in public radio so

I paid too much for the car I have then saw that the new Toyota Yaris is way cheap - I wanted to cry - BUT I do love my car and the payment is manageable....and at least I HAVe a car and was not hurt in the accident - so really I do have a lot to be thankful for...

I do wish I could have afforded a hybrid though....but for now Doris (my new car) is amazing with gas

I guess I just don't know what cars cost. If 21 for a new car isn't cheap, what is ? 15 ? I am too cheap to ever buy a brand new car, so it's all silly to me, but I guess I am outta the loop and most of my friends are driving stupid 50k SUV things and German cars. And the last car I drooled over was some crazy Mercedes SUV WWII Jeep looking thing that was like 90K. I love that thing.

Exclamation That's easy...
1970 AAR 'Cuda, any color is fine....But preferably black or Mopar Green. Just saw one selling for $170,000 and that is a reasonable price for such a classic.

I dont care for newer cars or luxury cars (Though the 2007 Dodge Challenger is rather bitching, looks just like the 1970 Challenger), I am from a muscle car family...No tricking-out a car is ALLOWED!!!!

Well I don't know about other people's budgets - perhaps 20K is perfectly affordable for a car- but sadly, not in my world

I did, however, just see an amazing car while watching the PBS show History Detectives:



A sunbeam Alpine - unfortunately there are only like 200 or something - so oh well

I don't even understand what a 20k car means. What does that payment translate to ? Like 300 a month or something ? Forgive me, I am silly when it come to this. I paid off my vehicle a long time ago, so I don't know what the payment was. 200 a month maybe ?
