Getting a gas saver.
 
So the wife and I decided we ARE getting a third car for saving gas given my SD is getting between 15 and 20 mpgs (depending on the tune im using) and her escape is getting about 16, and id like to keep the miles down on my truck.

We were looking at 2wd rangers and mazda b series pickups, but I think we are going to go the route of 4 door car. We are mainly looking at mid to late 90s BMWs and SAABs, I like the bimmers, she likes the looks of the saabs.

I just thought a thread to follow and get some opinions on some cars would be pretty cool, I know west is a bimmer guy.

heres what we are fixin to look at in the next couple of days.

I wish we could pick up something newer ha ha, sounds like a fun car. We are restricted by our tax return and what we can throw at it within our budget so the "under 5" is where it's at! There are some pretty decent cars for that price though.

How about one of those smart cars? Lol.. I am also going to start looking for a nice gas saver.. A prius...

Bdons-SD 03-13-2012 01:32 PM

NOOOOOO......... Don't go to the darkside! :jester: problems we are havin is while getting something too expensive will save gas, we won't break even for 2 to 3 years.

Bigbluediesel08 03-13-2012 01:38 PM

Just playing buddy. Lol. Those dam prius are too expensive.. Maybe a nice used focus or malibu??

Bdons-SD 03-13-2012 02:48 PM

Phew ha ha... They are spendy. I like the focus, I'm just not big on cars really. The only ones I really seem to like are the European imports.

Bigbluediesel08 03-13-2012 05:22 PM
