i thought about a LC for colorado, but i need something with more... power :p for colorado next year. great bulletproof cars though, and an 2000 or 01 would be under 20k most likely. Crap mileage, but a great car all the same.

My local stealer has several 2006 9-7x's that are STILL for sale. They NEVER go at list, and generally become loaners. one sweet deal I have seen more than once from Saab Nashua North in NH (Super volume internet stealer) is a $8000 one pay lease for two years (and that comes with free maintenance). something to look into.

I think thats five years of car for her budget, eh?

that being said, go for the LC or T4R.
