You'd save roughly $200 a month in financing charges, but you'd also lose money on selling your car plus have to pay tax on your new car (which at WA state rats is about $2,000 on a $20k car). That'd basically erase your entire savings for selling your car in the first place!

If you honestly want to save money for a house, etc... buy a Civic, xA, or Corolla. Base models with decent features run $15k, they are cheap to insure, have awesome gas milegae (a big plus now), and have good resale (except xA i think, but who knows).
yup it's financed. im leaning towards a used tacoma or prelude under $18k. it's very unlikely ill get another new car because of the tax and other fees. with a used car, the seller and i can "fudge" on the selling price to pay less tax :rick:

Why not go retro import / retro european? For example...an S30 or Z31 Z-car could be a hell of a lot of fun, and still be reasonably priced.

Also, a clean 560SEC on period-accurate Lorinsers would be teh hotness IMO.

Just a thought. :dunno:

I would say just get a 4cyl Toyota 4x4.

save on gas
inexpensive purchase
civilized
able to tow and go off road

Seriously getting the V6 isn't gonna save you in gas expense at all since all you are doing is trading one V6 for another.
