Theoketos Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 http://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?100609/3864 I would drive this one down to you.
Theoketos Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Ohhhh, I like this one better http://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?100526B/2016
morostheos Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Of course the trick is most older cars that still have a lot of life left and don't cost very much also usually don't have working air conditioning... My dad told me the rule of thumb for an older car is you should expect to pay about $1,000 a year to keep it in good running condition, regardless of the value of the car. You could either stay with the one you have, or if you think it's more trouble than it's worth, buy a more reliable brand but still expect to pay about that much a year in maintenance. My 93 Honda Accord has 280,000 miles on it and it's still going strong with that principle.
Laudate_Dominum Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 doesn't Obama buy cars for people or something?

Thy Geekdom Come Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 Theoketos, thanks for the offer, but we need to buy a car. It's not just the trip that's at stake. We need a car to replace our explorer permanently. I'm pretty pleased with the Dodge Caliber. Seems to have a great safety rating and it's affordable. Now to see how soon we can get it.

Maybe I should schedule a meeting with Trebek. He's a Canadian. Give him a call for me. [/quote] Right away! Particularly, Monday's tournament of Champions episode was all about the Holy Land and Biblical imagery etc. Anyone on phatmass would have wiped up. I think I had 93 000 points at the end.

I assumed that you meant that it was mean of Obama to squash down perfectly good cars pulling thousands of affordable used cars out of the market, and depleting the supply of such cars for families like Raphael's.
