Car question
My car is 14 years old and even though I could keep it running forever the parts are starting to go obsolete. Some things, like the plastic headlights, will not even be available from junkyards. I will keep it going until it really gets hard because of what it takes to replace it.
It has: 300 hp with a very wide power band and plenty of torque Room for 4 adults Very responsive performance, even though the programming is stock Weighs about 4000 lbs, I don't want much lighter Handles above average but still comfortable Good trunk space Very nice interior Lots of luxury gizmos for a '98, many are standard on a lot of cars now, like coil-over-plugs, wipers turn on headlights, seat memory, etc. Relatively inexpensive to maintain Rear wheel drive 18/24 mpg Is there anything for less than 45K that's not more than 2 years old that would be a good replacement? I like a larger sized car as opposed to something like a Vette or Stang because they don't get tossed around as badly on the road I have to drive every day. It is curvy and rough and uneven. A BMW 6 series is a pretty good match but expensive, even used. Maybe not so cheap to maintain. |
