New Car Time!
Ok so with such high gas prices and the Rover's near-80 fillups, I've decided it might be smart to purchase a more economical car for the to and from work stuff, it would be a 10k a year 24 month lease, under 250 per month
heres my test drives -Mazda 3 2.3i Touring Edition Sedan msrp-23,050 (SO FUN TO DRIVE!) -Jetta 2.5i Pkg 2-24,050 (Cute, Kinda Slow, but major reliability problems I have heard and Just have no time for a 2nd ONE :rofl:) -Ford Fusion SEL V6-Really Fast, Really Nice Interior, Totally Luxury for under 25 and cheap lease payment! I'm leaning towards the Mazda-6 base Ford Fusion, especially with the 1k gas card AND special lease, any input? My must havs! -Side Curtian/chest thorax side airbags -CD Player -Good headlamps -5 star crash test rating -Good Visabiliy -Some Luxury, not tons -Good Fuel Economy! |
so let's see.. let's do the math.. say you spend $320 a month on gas (fill up a week). you pay $250 a month for a lease payment with tax. You pay gas for that car (real miser. $60 a month). You pay say $50 a month for insurance. Does that come out to more than just driving the RR assuming the RR does go to shop again???

I'm with Josh...... the $$$$$ of buying a more economic car are incredibly hard to justify unless you are driving an astronomical amount of miles and are buying something with the mileage of a jetta diesel. why would you want to drive an inferior vehicle everyday over a few dollars in gasoline??? IMAO..... if you were so worried about gas prices you would have never bought a RR in the first place... my vote..... drive the RR or X5 and save yourself some money in other areas

Let's think about this - 2 drivers, 2 SUV's, a 335i on order, plus you're contemplating a 4th vehicle. Evidently money is not much of a deciding factor for you. If it makes you feel good, then do it.
Driving a Fusion would feel the same as driving a rental car. The only thing missing would be the Avis sticker on the rear bumper. The VW is okay, but why not get the GLI? Same with the Mazda - why not get the 3S? It's not like you can't afford it. While we're at it, how's about a Mini Cooper S or a Civic SI? Or better yet, a Lotus Exige? If gas consumption reduction is all you're really chasing, then get an electric car, a hybrid, or a Honda NGV. |
Get a Vespa.;)
Better yet, get a Ducati...:thumbup: |
we can't get a MINI cooper the way we want, their all sold out and want like 8k over sticker, and they were dicks so I walked out and here in san diego, we only have one mini dealer so no price competetion which sucks, as for the Fusion, I loved it, I think its a very nice car, I dare say the interior is MUCH nicer then the X3, as for the price, its a tax write off since its used for work, so its about 50 cents to the doller for me, so A 250 lease payment to me means 125.00 make sense?

When I lived in Japan, you could only own one car per licensed driver. What a crap law. I'm sure it had something to do with the SOFA (status of forces agreement) between the U.S. and Japan. What ev... |
