[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 15578, member: 541271"] I agree 100%. I have an 89 chevy beretta with 155,000, and it runs great. I think about it this way. Why have a $300 car payment, when you can ride around in an older car that looks half way decent for free each month. Maybe a couple hundred in parts each year, but nothing major. The only problem I had with my car was it kept stalling out a couple months ago, my dad being a mechanic, just unplugged a wire from the transmission and bam, it runs like new. Of course, the part is still bad, but he basically by passed it, said I might burn a little more gas though. And actually I think I am getting better gas mileage. Anyhow just my point, I'd rather ride around in a car that I own, instead of having a nice car and making payments. I also have a Kia Sportage EX (POS) nobody better buy any Kia automobiles, they ****, their mechanics **** and almost got me killed. We have had more work done to the Kia in the year we've had it, then I have had done to my Beretta in 3 years. We brought it in because the brake light was on, instead of finding what was causing the light to stay on, they just disconnected the light, some 10 year warranty huh. Too bad they don't sell life insurance with it. [/QUOTE]
