tqtran, not so much worried about the rust, more worried about sliding with non-winter tires and cleaning the salt crud off my black paint... I know it probably won't hurt it but black is hard enough to keep looking nice in the summer  |
When looking in that price range, I'd strongly suggest a Japanese car. They simply last longer. I've put over a hundred thousand miles on a Subaru Impreza and Mazda Rx-7, 200,000 on a Honda Accord and Acura Integra GS-R and over 360,000 on a Turbo Toyota MR2 (none were new when I bought them) and all I can tell you is that I have no qualms buying another well used Japanese car. When something does go wrong, they're cheap to repair and it's rare that something goes wrong. Have you EVER heard of a cylinder liner coming loose on a Honda? Seriously, give the Impreza a try, you'll LOVE it.
