car shopping.

Recommended Posts

I see a new car in my future at some point. Definitely not feeling any of those.

I may have it narrowed down to the makes I want if I go to a dealer..Either Dodge or Cadillac/

but I might just look for something someones trying to get rid of and fix it up a bit..

Depends if I can find anything like that I like when I'm looking.

It has to be a SUV. 

I am too tall for standard cars. I haven't ridden in a car in a very long time. 

I think the Ford Escape is nice. Not digging the new Dodge's. Chevrolet is shit. Cadillac is garbage. I say that because I've owned Chevy and Cadillac. Jeep is something to look into. Kia and Subaru also.

I love my Cherokee trailhawk

Jeep Grand Cherokees are nice. I wouldn't mind having one of the newer models that came out recently, but I already have a dodge ram so another truck/suv just seems like too much..

I want a little car. I'm tired of it feeling like I'm in a go cart when I drive somebody elses.

well..it kind of has to be a mom/grandma car. 

enough room for 2 car seats. and to lug groceries and stuff around. 

i love the jeep, but honestly, i just dont' see that being a good fit. 

 

Which one?  The Cherokee T-Hawk or the Gladiator I mentioned?

I've put 77k on my '14 Trailhawk and it's done splendidly,  I've driven it to Tahoe and back three times.  Was doing weekly trips to Fresno a couple years back and it was great.  It's been far smoother than any other XUV I've ever had and it has far better capability.

i actually forgot about jeep. i was thinking of rogue style jeep. 

either way...may be just slightly out of my price range.

The base Jeep Cherokees are pretty cheep.  Not sup $20, cheep, but not bad.  A Subaru is $21, and a Cherokee is $26 without the bells and whistles.

That's not bad at all. I expected them to be more honestly. I've thought about trading my RAM in to the dealer and getting a cherokee a few times.

I'd be the same way especially if I felt I needed a new vehicle.. I miss my impala honestly.

chevy cars always look nice, and I've never had any issues with them so I might go that route.

If I was in a bigger area I'd search through lemons and call it a day, but I don't think this place has much to offer in that department anyway.. Most of the nicer vehicles that people are selling are trucks, and suvs from what I've seen. 

Good old Texas..

personally i want a '72 ford bronco. but...here we are. 

i'm in good with a guy who has a few old broncos. at least two of them are the hard top convertible types too. they're buried an a warehouse right now, but he's pretty old so when he kicks off i might be able to grab one up for cheap...

and i'm gonna toss a minivan on the list because you want one but you don't know it yet / aren't willing to admit it. we have a town & country that does everything. it might not be as fancy as a pacifica, but i knew going in that we were gonna beat the shit out of it so i didn't want to go too fancy. hauls 3 kids, or gets two carts of groceries home, or transports a full portable bar setup with draft beer and sound system. i brought home an upright freezer a couple months ago, in the back of this beast. just sayin', once i was ok with the emasculation of driving a minivan, i learned to embrace it.

we need to keep in touch. for real. i know that these broncos are like the lost ark. and usually SUPER pricey. 

also...i know a minivan is probably the way i should go. i mean...2 car seats, a teen, baby mama, groceries. 

i will look into the t/c see what's up. 

but...seriously, keep me posted on the bronco.

this guy actually paid me and a buddy to drive cross-country a few times and haul these broncos back here. we got one from a business called "hubcap heaven" outside of portland maine, another from a place down in the ozarks, and one from tuscaloosa. then he put them into storage and never drove them again. a little bit of work, and i'm sure any of them would run again. if they ever come up for sale, i'll be in touch :)
