Tell me what to buy, craigslist edition.

An old diesel merc

>>15370199
shut up and buy a civic and move closer.

>>15370199
>sticky out of date
Not really. There's a reason you can buy a Fusion in that price range, but it isn't on the sticky. It's because the Fusion is shit.

>>15370215

Not moving, civic is an option.

>>15370222

The fusion isn't the only car that is probably overlooked on the list.

If you know so much about it, why are you asking for help?

>>15370235
>y tho

Because I enjoy living on a bunch of land. That suggestion, lol.

>>15370238
I didn't say I "know so much", but that doesn't mean I'm clueless. I'm just bad at making decisions in general.

It lacks some creature comforts, but what do I look for? Best model?

>>15370250
It's a great suggestion. Cheap, reliable, 45-50mpg. What more could you ask for?

>>15370275

It's just that specific car has 200k+ miles and all kinds of problems. For that much money? Nah.

>>15370331
It's an ALH TDI. You take care of it it'll run forever. Mileage is less important than how it was maintained.

>>15370371
>You take care of it

Yes, but I have to play catch up because it comes with problems that haven't been taken care of. It needs paint, it needs a door lock, a headliner, a radio, windshield washer etc. How much will all of that cost? I'm open to this type of car, and this one has some positive aspects, but too many problems for the price IMHO.

>>15370415
I actually didn't scroll down all the way to see the list of cons. Nevermind.

You could not worry about getting amazing mpg and get a comfy volvo.

I actually like the mk4 golf, hard to find TDI, though. It seems the newer VWs are hit and miss, no?

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5615789911.html

Those Volvos look comfy and classy, DESU. I would have to look up the MPG to make sure they aren't horrible. I'll see what other volvos there are.

>>15370489
V70 would average mid-high 20s, maybe even 30 the closer you go to 70mph. S80 would get mid 20s.

>>15370514

Not too bad for what they are. Honestly, the newer Volvos don't seem too impressive in that regard either. The 4 cyl '07 S40 gets 22/30.

Does someone want to help me find a Miata under 4.5k? Will be daily driven.
