discolé monade Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 the time has come. need another vehicle. i was looking at the subaru, but i think i'm going to go with ford escape. thought about a chrysler pacifica...but, nah to the mini~van. the buick is nice, but really kind of pricey. i want that little foot wave thing that closes the back hatch.
Naraku4656 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 that sexy chipmunk look, that shitty sync system, wrapped in one mediocre package. if that doesn't make you harder than a diamond, nothing will 2
Mini_ghost420 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 you should just buy a used lemon since you have lemon in your name 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 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.
midnight Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 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. 1

discolé monade Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 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.

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.

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. 1

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. 2

scoobdog Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Grand Cherokees are a different beast. Honestly, I don't see much need for them unless you're looking for more of a luxury vehicle. 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 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.. 1
