Slimpsy1647545505 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Now hear me out. I have a baby on the way and it's due late December. I don't really have a practical winter ride (I use my truck in the winter). . . but neither my truck nor the mustang nor my wife's stratus rt is all that great of a family vehicle. So my mother in law is interested in trading her 07 Caliber with 27,000 miles on it for my 05 mustang with 48,000 miles on it. I don't really like the Caliber's but it would be a good family/winter car. . . with little hassle. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 What's re-sale on each? Econo boxes are going to go up I see in re-sale before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 NO! The things are anemic pieces of shit, and you're too big for one. When they try to give me of these things anymore at rental car places, I laugh at them. Fuck these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 is your stang a sixxer or do you have smoked fog lights that dont show in your sig? if its a six then i retract my earlier statement...i dont know resale vs cost of a wrx, but i imagine its not as close with a v6...either way, i probably wouldnt trade for the caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 2 months ago , I drove one as a rental car, and it was the biggest peice of shit on earth. and I dont care if its a v6 or v8 I would never trade for it. Your best bet is to sell yours, then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Caliber.....drove an SRT4. Fun ride, but Dodge Cheap. Even in SRT4 Form. I'm looking at a smaller fun ride and the MS3 is so far topping the list in bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I wouldn't trade anything for a Chrysler Product.Once you get burned you don't go back.They had my wifes Grand Voyager SE for 3 weeks and called and said we really aren't sure why it is dying like it is.We can duplicate it we just can't repair it yet.We had a rental the whole time but it sucks sending that payment out and the car isn't even in your garage.I stopped by or they called me the whole time but no one could fix it.

GonneVille Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm gonna get flamed for this, but if you want a real family car, get a used Bonneville SSEI from 97-99. They get decent mileage, good power, they're comfortable as hell, and they have tons of room in the back. Not to mention a HUGE trunk for baby crap. Or even an SE/SLE/SSE with the N/A motor. But if you do the N/A thing, make sure to replace the upper intake manifold. The SSEi is actually pretty good in the corners. Look on the bottom of the spare tire cover for the RPO codes FE2 or F41. Those are the good suspension, and they can be had on the SE/SLE/SSE, too. BTW, on the safety side of things, they're built like a concrete wall, and do a damn good job of protecting the passengers.

Guest Hal Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm seriously gonna ban you. STFU. Do, get rid of the annoying ones. Mrhobbz is gone, we need to lose another. I would keep the Mustang personally. Have you considered an Escape or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 sell the stang and get a wrx X2, great family cars and still fun. AWD drive in the winter. Sounds like a winner. Even better if you get an STI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
