Might I suggest perhaps an MG? They do rather well in most
conditions, are a rather fun car to drive. You could probably find a
car in reasonable condition for less than $10K, which is rather a bit
less than those modern cars that have no soul. :)
Here here! At least that's the plan I am following right now. With almost
anything new topping $20K easily, my plan is to spend under $10K on a daily
driver restoration of my BGT. Even with the added cost of a new engine, I
think I will still finish under budget. I know you have to make a decision
right now, but I'll let you know how I come out shortly.
Most of us buy new cars on emotion, not numbers. "I blew an engine, so
instead of fixing it for $3000, I'm buying a new $20,000 car" I've done it,
and
now I'm going to follow my own advice for once and try an alternative.
