Just looking for some input on a few cars/trucks
MOD OR ADMIN, Please move this to General Discussion, I am stupid. Also if you could make the below vehicles into Poll form, I would appreciate it, the board didnt allow me enough time.
The time is nearing for me to buy a "new" vehicle and I really can't decide what I would like to buy, so I would like to hear some thoughts from others.
A couple things to consider:
1. I am getting out of the Marine Corps in about 4 months and could quite possibly return to New Hampshire where the road conditions could be less than favorable at times.
2. I want enough room to cart around myself and all 4 of my friends
.
3. I am not a total speed freak so I don't need the fastest car on the street.
4. Comfort and class is very important, I don't want a cheesy plastic interior.
I am going to buy used, but I don't want anything older than 2002 and must be less than 40K miles and somewhere between $15,000 and $23,000 the less money I spend the better.
I put up a couple to pick from, if there is something ALONG THESE LINES that you think would be an outstanding choice let me know.

Re: Just looking for some input on a few cars/trucks
I drove a Ford Escape before the mustang and I was quite impressed.
It was a 2001 XLT every option but leather and 4WD and I wish we had kept it.
However, the interior pieces were plastic,but tastefully done, as it is an SUV.
I'm sure you could find a newer Limited edition that has all the leather and whatnot.
Even though it was 2wd it moved right well in the snow and was somewhat fun to drive for a V6.

Thanks but no.
Here is a small list of some of my considerations since something is wrong with the poll option:
Audi 2.7t Quattro Wagon
Audi 1.8t Quattro
Ford F250 Superduty, Diesel, Crew Cab, 4x4
WRX Wagon
GTO
BMW 3 series
Tahoe 4x4
Colorado 4x4
Lincoln LS

1) Never ask dragva to make up your mind for you
2) Decide on a truck or a car, and then figure out what you want
3) Don't decide until you decide whether or not you're moving.

Car/truck/fuck I dont know, I want a car, but a truck is more useful and I don't want to own 2 cars anymore, I just want one good one. If I go home to NH I will need the ability to tow/carry snowmobiles, dirtbikes and jetskis.
I really hate driving this piece of shit 17 year old truck, so I need to get something soon before I lose my mind and I will probably not know where I am going to live for another 3 months.... They do plow the roads in NH during the winter, so anything but a RWD sports car is acceptable for use, but no necessarily prefferable.

Well you can, but you need something else to drive for the other 6 months of the year.
