We did some very rough estimating, mostly guessing, and think we will be getting about 4-4200 on taxes. We need a newer car as I've been posting about and the wife wants to spend around 2500-3000 on one so we have money to fix stuff with.. I'm afraid that if we dip that low in price were going to end up with two pos cars.. I think that cars in the 3-4 range are going to be better mechanically/ cosmetically, cosmetic doesn't matter to either of us as long as its good mechanically. So which would be the better option?
