Heh.

Get a Cherokee. They are decent on gas, and you have the legendary 4x4 option at your control.

My ex-roomate ruined Cavys for me, and I work for a GM dealership, so I see the little querks with them. Kia parts are a PITA to get ahold of when something does go wrong. Imports can cost ya' a nice penny (atleast around here) to fix. With my heavy foot and my heavy car (93 Grand Cherokee [ZJ] w/ all wheel drive and the 4.0 I-6) I still get around 14-15 mpg city and about 21-22 highway.

As you can tell, when I drive (even if it's to the corner store) I gotta have my space... Maybe I'm not the right guy to be talking about some car that gets good gas mileage...

Ashley - Get the 5.2 (318) V-8 in that? I'm looking for a 1998 ZJ that's the 5.9 Limited Edition. I'm droolin' just thinking about it. Hit me up w/ a PM and tell me how ya' like it (and let me drool over the list of options that you got! )

crown vic polic package. It totally rocks, and will seat zix in comfort, seven or even eight if you really need to, and thats without putting anyone in the trunk (at least ten if you do that). On top of that, you get the police package which means your car is a decent performer (don't expect good 1/4 mile times, it is a huge car, but its got a good top speed and good high speed handling. And you get a spotlight. And american full size sedans are totally awesome. Also look into a town car or a grandmarquis (crown vic with some extra options). Cheap, reliable (don't believe the fix or repair daily nonsense, mid and late 90's crown vics are about as reliable as cars get. I've got a 15 year old ford that has never had a major problem.)

But you gotta pay for gas. Beats an SUV, but not a civic.

Someone my brother had class with last semester at Purdue picked up something very similar to this near the end of the year. His dad got him a 2000 (or '01 / '02 not sure) Ford Crown Victoria, FBI retired car. This thing was awesome. It was all black w/ tinted windows and the black police wheels. It had the police search light and everything on the door. The odd thing was that this vehicle didnt have a VIN number on it so the kid had special paperwork from the government incase he ever got pulled over. I believe he picked up this car at an auction for $6000.

just my .02 look at buick lesabre


from 91-95 they didn;t change much and they are all very very reliable...all the parts are GM regulars that were used so much they are proven conept. you can pick one up for under 3,000. i have had mine (94) for a few years now and i love it. i know you might say yuck a buick but this car has been through the works with very little problems. also note that i live in rochester NY, the weather is probably the most sparatic ever so it is truely in my mine a tested concept...you can also find them anywhere, trust me you wont be disappointed
