what would you rather drive?

[garretttt4 10+ year member]

Alright, right now I'm driving a little 03 Chrysler Sebring lxi coupe. Don't hate. I got it for 500$ with 90,000 miles. It books at like 5000 in excellent condition. Which if I sell it ill get a new bumper and gas gauge fixed and it will be. I have a 04 jeep liberty sitting outside my house with 104,000 miles. It has a smashed door and needs a new fender and its almost perfect except a few "cig" burns on the seats..... But its the weird ass alien green color they came in.... And I absolutely hate it. I always thought the liberty's were kinda girly cars...Should I fix the liberty and drive that? what do you think?

Btw I don't think this is in the right section but I didn't know where else to put it....

If you want a loud stereo, Jeep Liberty. If you want gas mileage,Chrysler.

The only reason Im kinda leaning twards the liberty is that it has 4wd and that'd be nice in the snow we have here in sd.

I'm not concerned about gas. I just drive it to school. Otherwise I drive my families old 95 Silverado. I just can't afford that for going to school everyday. I live like 30 miles from school so I just can't quite afford 8 miles a gallon. Lol ii m only 17 and just work pt.

I originally bought the jeep for 3000 and was gunna put in 1000 and resell it for 8000. But since I have it Idk if I should just drive it....

Having spent over 10yrs in the car business I can tell you that you should never pay attention to the "excellent" condition level of KBB or any of the the other "quoting" systems. That's basically saying it's showroom level and noone EVERY gets that valuation whether from a private purchaser and especially not a dealership. Good to Fair would be a more realistic valuation because honestly EVERYBODY thinks their vehicle is in excellent shape when they are trying to sale it and I assure you that someone looking to buy it can always find something on it to bring down your valuation....just an FYI

Ik. I wouldn't ask that much. I'd just sell it local by putting it in the paper or something for like 2500 or maybe 3000. I know here Noone is Probly gunna pay a ton for it since its so small and we get so much snow... But someone could buy it for a beginner car like I did.

Why not sell both and get something else?

 

[SilverSquared 10+ year member]

I agree, sell both and buy something better.

Well no matter what they will both be sold. I am gunna save up a few thousand though before I sell both of um. I wanna sell one and keep the other for a few more months. Gunna try and get like 3000 saved up and sell the jeep for like 6 and my car for like 2500 and my mom is gunna gimme like 5000 so I can get a nice truck. Might take out a like 2000$ loan just so I can build up my credit since I don't have any credit as of now....

I agree, sell both and buy something better.

It's gunna take a bit for me to get some money to get something nice....

If that's the case, I'd drive whatever is going to cost you less money.

Yeah I like my Chrysler cuz I get like 20mpg. It has the same engine as the mitsubishi eclipse se or whatever. But it is HORRIBLE in the snow. I get stuck in like anything. And it keeps breaking the bumper. Iv replaced it like 4 times now. The car is way too fragile for me. Haha

quit being lazy and fix both cars so you have 2 sets of wheels to roll in. one can be a project vehicle if so desired.

The only thing wrong with the crysler is the gas gauge and I need another new bumper. The other one just needs a new door and fender. And I only need one car. Can't afford insurance on both while I'm on p.t..
