How about an Audi A3. Heck they kinda look like a Beetle stretched out from some angles. Definitely peppy but I am not sure they have a manual option. Upside is it has the DSG which is the best of both worlds IMO.

Thanks for the feedback. Did that have the 2.0t and DSG?

The DSG is one of the things driving me to the GTI. That and the A3. Some days I like the A3, some days I don’t.

Thanks for the input. Every 3,000 the car didn’t need an oil change because it was dirty, it was cause it was empty. But you could’t go 3,000 miles before the windows would fall in again.

Thanks Tom. I’m just one of those frugal guys who makes the compromise. Getting a GTI would be my second vehicle, and then DD. Keep my WJ Grand Cherokee for roppin’n around end exploring.

How reliable are GTI’s? Had a bad experience with a 2002 Jetta and swore off VW. But the GTI is kinda hitting all the boxes on my want list in my next vehicle. THinking about a used 2012 an up, with DSG and say, up to 80k. Would I be asking for a nightmare?

$9500 for both of these

cool story, especially being from Arizona. Who would have thought there was such a find in my area.

Taking on a car enthusiast as a roommate with a fart can exhaust. Everyday he comes home you can hear his car from way down the block since he downshifts and roles into the neighborHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

That looks like a mini-van with refular doors. Little too tall IMO

As a recent Jeep buyer this is 100% CP. I bought my 04 Grand Cherokee Limited with 4.7HO, Quadra Drive and damn near every option for $4,200 at 159k. Not a chance I would pay that much. At most thats a $2,800 buy.

Right there with you. Cherokke was little fugly. Cherokee little too pricey. If this gets a Trailhawk edition, Pano roof and a rear locker, I am super excited

Indeed it is. Feel like I have choices that aren't driven by responsibilities to pay back debt.

Got my newphew the NEX-5r last year for his 16th, and just this week hooked him up with a Pentax 50 1.7 and adapter I got for super cheap. He was stoked.

that would feel like the wight of the world on your shoulders.

I believe fixed term debt (loans) are alright to payoff and close. But for revolving debt (credit cards) you want to keep at least one open, forever. Having a single old account is helpful for some reason. You would also be well served to use that card and pay it off every month in full. You have to have credit to get…

Same here, I average about $240 in cash back rewards annually.

RE: Title - True story. First time since I was 16 I haven’t had debt* ( I do have a mortgage but I would have to pay to live somewhere regardless)

Wife and I found rechargeable Oral-B toothbrushes for $13ea probably 3-4 years back. She purchased a buld set of heads for like $20. Seriously the best $46 we could have spent on dental care and still working great to this day.
