Hey everyone.

I have one more exam until im done with this dreaded test and was thinking of upgrading my car. I have an old pathifinder with over 200k miles and it’s just time for an upgrade.

I was just wondering what everyone here is driving, wants to buy and/or will be buying shortly. People in my office seem to all drive bmws, audis, or mercedes! I don’t know if i could spend that much for a car.

I have a 2006 Ford Fusion that I commute with and it is paid for. I also have a 07 Tacoma TRD off-road but I am paying $300 a month for it. I would LOVE a GT-R or the new 2014 Stingray… but I could never justify it unless I had ZERO debt besides a home mortgage and was taking home 150k+. Until then, I will continue to drive the 25k or less vehicles and only have 1 payment at a time.

I have a Tiguan VW 2011 – Have 2 more years to pay it off. Love this car for everything accept the power of the engine… Very Slow pick up speed from 1st to 2nd Gear. Drives me nuts. But I will keep this car until it can go on no more.

When I have to upgrade most likely will look at Infinity or Ford – leaning towards Hatch Back Cars..

I am a Hatch back car that is a stick shift type of girl 🙂

FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

I put a lot down on a brand new Chrysler 200 S last year. The payments are amazing and I love that car so much! Haha I had a used Sebring in college, so I guess I like Chrysler.

I have my dream car, A 2013 Porsche 911. I bought it last October and it's got just over 1,900 miles on it. Sadly my baby rarely leaves the garage now. When I bought it I was living in Kansas City, which is a little more conducive from a climate standpoint than Chicago, where I moved back to in March. If I had known I was only going to be in KC for eight months I never would have gotten the thing, but now that I have it… VROOM VROOM!!!

Edited: I did keep my beat up nine year old Lexus SUV for more practical driving, LOL.

2005 6-speed Nissan Xterra, silver, 117K miles. a manual transmission SUV is ULTIMATE ROAD POWER!! It's hard for me to envision having an automatic SUV now.

So for my next car, I want a 20XX (brand new/current year) Xterra but fully loaded and 4×4! Mine is only 2-wheel drive

FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

My favorite car is a 95 Ford Aspire I got for $400 to drive to school a couple years ago. Thing gets 40mpg, I can park it in the tiniest spots when necessary, eat in it, and slam the doors when I feel like it. It's my baby, because it never lets me down, and costs practically nothing to drive. I can't bring myself to sell it now that school is over, even though we have a brand new Camry!

Nothing screams accountant like a $400 car that's had the crap driven out of it! My husband has been known to beg me not to drive it to interviews, it's like a family joke around here.
