CHARGER!!!!!!!! R/T comes in at about $30K

not bad for a 340hp sedan (or was it 360?)

if i EVER had to buy a sedan it would be a Charger (but only cuz the ford falcon isnt made here....)

I am 100% content with just what I have . I love her. Will never drive anything else but a long secession of her beautiful sisters.

Freestyle :notnice: We both despise em.
I thought you were trying to get rid of it? Isn't that the purpose of this thread?

I think she's talking about her Mustang, not the Alero.

Oh okay, I was talking about replacing the Alero with a Miata, you said you wanted something tiny and fun. I wouldn't really consider the Mustang tiny.

man i'm surprised so meny people are voting for the charger...how about a five-hundred or the upcoming fusion? if you are looking for a family sedan, I would say honda accord 4-dr...we have had ours since 1988, and it has over 220k miles on it, and not a thing is wrong with it

Wait, I think I am confused. You won't buy used, but you are considering buying a car from Avis...the rental company?
No- the alero is broke, and He will not drive Ellie so he rented a vehicle from avis to go to Jersey in.

The Alero was a Enterprise turn in.

Its on the long list with the Rx8. And I forgot about the Magnum and 300. B. likes big ole cars with room, I like little cars with no room- like my mustang.

The Alero- dead. Runs hot in warm weather, and smells to high hades with leaking(AGAIN!) Death coo..

Ellie- is loved and adored, she has a home forever with us. This car was most anticipated- 28 years(since I was four) in the making. Even after her 2011 sister comes home.

Keep in mind..All decisions are final by NOT ME- Him. just looking for suggestions as to what hot cars to shop for.

He let me get Ellie without telling me anything(but that yellow was hot and not to go with the torch red I nearly snatched up in a moment of weakness).


(shudder) he is liking the gran prix too.

If money was no object, I would MUCH rather have a Viper than a 04 Cobra. Why stop at 04 Cobra if you can have the 07 shelby? or the Ford GT?
I would get the AM Vanquish over any other vehicle (if money was no object of course)

you see, as u said, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. some kids grow up dreaming of one day having the ultimate car, the Ferrari or Lambo, well my dream is a 03 sonic blue cobra or 04 comp orange cobra. besides, the cobra is much better looking and has better hp per dollar then the viper.

think about it this way. If you got a Viper, you would be able to sell it and get TWO 03-04 Cobras! A Lambo? TEN Cobras!
this reminds me of a Simpson's episode.

Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!
Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Homer: Woo-hoo!

otherwise? trade in!
