Mallard Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Other than the 'fun to drive' part you could get into a 2010+ Equinox. Fusion is a good choice, Chevy Cruze would be good, others may be dependent on mileage/condition/year as to if they'll fit in your budget.

SpaceGhost Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 All I know is in both cars I sat in the front seat and adjusted it to my liking, then I got out and sat in the back seat. In the 2010 Fusion, I had to straddle the front seat with my knees like I do in my Imprezas. In the 2010 Legacy, I had at least an inch of clearance between my knees and the driver's seat. In my older style Leggy, my knees just brush the front seat. That's the basis of my statement. Aren't the Impreza and Legacy the same base platform now?

Got-Boost? Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 You are asking the money rate wrong. Only an idiot negotiates a monthly payment, as some others have said. You should go in already pre-approved somewhere, and if their financing is better, sweet. If not, you can fall back on your own. You should ONLY negotiate on price. With 0 down, 60 months (do not go longer than that), and 4% interest rate (this could vary and make a big difference, depends on your credit), you are looking at ~$16,000 loan for slightly under $300/month. So assuming you have no money to put down and decent credit, your question should be what reliable, warrantied, semi-fun, decent fuel mileage vehicle can I get for 15k after negotiating (as taxes/fees/etc. will eat up the rest of your 16kish budget). . +1 $300 a month has you at $16k out the door (or less) NEW, unless you want a lease? I don't recommend a lease AT ALL but LOTS of $299/mo options if you lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I would think a used G8 GT would fit you fine. I know you said new, but you can get more car if you look at slightly used. Like 30K miles or less. I really don't think 30k miles is a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'd say that was pretty good to be that close to the M5. Maintenance costs would likely be fucking crazy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I saw 300 a month, were is 15k, I don't know what he is trading or has cash to put down. You could buy a new Ferrari for $300 a month with enough money down. Since no money other than a payment is mentioned, the default assumption would be very little to no money down.

turbospec29 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 So... anyone have a new Nissan Hookup? KillJoy here ya go... http://www.buckeyenissan.com/new-cars.aspx There is an 2010 altima listed there for 22,900. I picked up my new xterra there like 2 months ago with the 0%apr year end sales event. Call and see if they can extend(or still have?) the deal on the in stock 2010's. My math puts that altima at about $305 a month at 0% for 60 months. I got my new xterra for the same price in the end as a used 09 would cost me once I paid it off with a 4% interest rate...

Check your math. 0% rate would put him into about an 18k loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbospec29 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Check your math. 0% rate would put him into about an 18k loan. I knew that didn't seem right. That was with 4500 down. Sorry. With zero down and 0% apr for 72 months (IF you can get the 0%apr stretching out the loan is not so bad). $318 a month. It's a long shot as I don't think they are pushing the deal anymore, but to me if its a new in stock 2010 they may want it off the lot if they can.
