So, this would be my daily driver. I figure I could have a new Ford Fusion or a used Boxster with very low milesage for about the same MSRP. Obviously the variable being maintenance costs, etc.
I don't need the size because my girlfriend has a bigger car that we use for most long trips, shopping (it's just the two of us), etc.
I don't really have the luxury of letting the thing break down and hang out for a few days. At least, that is certainly not my preference. My girlfriend would have to drive me to work.
I do not have an issue with doing some work on the car myself - oil changes, brakes, etc. But I'm most certainly not a mechanic and my knowledge kind of ends there.
By the way, a full synthetic oil change every 3,000 miles seems extremely excessive?! Does the oil really break down after 3k miles?
Thanks all for the advice!
