Replacement needed :(

Okay, so I sold of my Benz' (*must put the mo. payment into something that has a return like oil stocks or corn stocks) and the guy is coming to pick it up this weekend. I can't disclose the price coz' the transaction is not done yet. I give him my word If he back out of the deal, I'm $500 dollars positive than him and he knows that...hehehehe!

I got $4500 to spend for the car to use for picking up the kids, errands and so on but will not use for work as I commute already and doing my part to help the environment...not really for some of you after you see my 2 choices to pick up on Sunday after church if still available

I found these 2 on Craigslist and the asking price is $4999 (small local car dealer) and I will offer $4500 cash. Not check, money order or cashiers check but Benjamins....

1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28/8 Cylinder Fuel Injected LT1 5.7 Liter Engine/ T Top / Dark Orange Exterior with Black Leather Interior/OZ Racing Monte Carlo Rims/102k mi.



OR....

1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4x4 Lifted/5.7 Liter 8 Cylinder Vortech Engine/DVD/Video in dash system/86k mi.



*IT MUST BE THE LEFT OVER MEDICATION IN MY SYSTEM...HEHEHEHEHE

You have lost your mind. Those cars are gas guzzlers. Buy a Toyota Corolla.

Yeah, the Mercedes --> cheap rice burner transition really sucks, but these big American V8's are gonna hurt your wallet far more than a Japanese economy car is going to wound your pride.

Now if I had to choose between the two, I'd take the Z28 because I wanted one real bad in high school. But that's when I had more hormones than brains.

That's exactly what she said when I told her what I'm getting...and yes, the pride is going to get hurt big time if I have to get a economical rice burner

but I forgot to mention that we also have 04' Lancer Bone Stock in the driveway :dance:

the Z28 is my first choice too

Garage
If I was going to get a daily driver in the sub-$5k range I would look at a 914 or 944. But since you probably want something that is more reliable, I would look at a Toyota or a Honda, forget the Chevy and anything with a lot of miles unless you want to spend another few thousand on repairs.
