Well, as everyone who knows us knows we are not car people...anything that works, is cheap, is good enough for us. In fact, I drove an old Buick Skylark we picked up for $300 for a long time...had tremendous rust damage but drove like a charm. Was a little embarrassed that the shop at my school used it as an excellent example of serious rust damage but what the heck...it's just transportation.
I don't think we would have considered a new car unless the current situation of prices coming down considerably was the situation. Buying used and keeping an old car too long just doesn't make sense in this new reality. And we are so pleased to get rid of the Mustang...never liked it. We bought it because we just wanted a convertible like we've had for 30 years. We won't be missing a convertible a bit.
But when we only have one car now we need four doors so we don't have to squeeze our friends in and some trunk space. And I'm prepared to try driving to PS again so just transportation isn't an option. We've booked two months in PS this winter and also want to explore Arizona so it will be nice having a new car!
