Cept black. IMO, way cooler than an Escalade yet half the price.

not a car for me but it's probably pretty reliable and comfortable. how good is the gas milage? gas will probably be back up over $3/gallon by April/May.

I've driven it and an Escalade. There's a reason it's 15 grand less. No comparison.

Given the gulf refinery capacity will be back to near 100% then, I'm curious why you feel gas prices will go back up? Especially during an election year where people are pissed at the overt collusion of the gas industry, and they'll be under the microscope.

Does every year. From Jan, goes up until April/May, down until June/July, up until Sep/Oct, down until January again.

Edit:

Normally it's about a .50 cent increase, but I'm guessing economic factors will push it up further. Safe to say it'll be at 2.60, easily.

Demand for oil is increasing steadily, especially in China where they are ramping up their manufacturing capacities and building up their infrastructures. There no new sources for oil so the demand will spike up the price for oil.

You should put spinners on it.

Is your license plate gonna be "2NCHPNS" ?

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:24 am

I believe Manalope currently has that plate, minus the car of course because he can't drive worth a shit.

Some people can afford to pay cash sir.

And to some other people 800 a month is chump change.

Its all relative.

My Audi was 560 a month, it was no issue whatsoever, at least while I was working. Paid off now, to my great happiness.

yeah, it is all relative..... and damn it insano, I was about to suggest spinners....

I wonder what it would be like to sell Escalades and to try to imagine that the only people buying your car AREN'T drug dealers and thugs.... I guess you would have to keep your eyes closed....

I bet spinners come in a Specific Package with the Escalade.... Wonder what they would name the package?

Too true boys. I just keep putting things into my own fiscal perspective.

kaharthemad · Post by **kaharthemad** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:16 am

I stopped buying new a long time ago. Cant bring myself to have a car payment now that im pretty much clear of almost all the bill shit.

Kramer · Post by **Kramer** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:34 am

My wife and I bought a new car 3 years ago, first time for both of us, we hit hard times financially with me finishing grad school, etc., and we were able to actually make 1,000 off it because it was only 18 months old and we got lots of bells and whistles, but we would never buy new again.... too risky of an investment, especially when you have retirement for two and kids to worry about...

Cars are not an investment.

Post by **Tossica** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:09 pm

Buying new cars is a waste of $$$ no matter how rich you are.

Gypsiyee · Post by **Gypsiyee** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:18 pm

well, look at it this way

someone has to buy new, or we middle of the road folk would have no used cars to buy.

Kramer · Post by **Kramer** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:47 pm

ok kids, we all know a car is technically not an investment, then lets use the word financial decision....

you could buy a new car and lose EVEN MORE of your ass than if you bought it used...

are we happy?
