So far, that's 12 for 2012 and 5 in 2013. Any more guesses from the crowd?
If nothing else, if I'm in the lead on December 15th, it'll encourage Nyccarguy to hit the showrooms.
Rouch engine. It is a "427polished IR (fuel injected). Way to much engine but being considered used you don't have choice if you want the car. All the pwr can't even be put to the ground in car this light. 556hp 537 ft lb torque"
Considering this must weigh 2,500#s at most, that is a pwr/weight ratio of about 4. That is obscene. not sure what you can even do with something like this. Other than look at it in the garage.

I also move used-car buyers add the mileage to their sled...
And put me down for an Outback in '13.
I'm sitting on $3k in "Subaru bucks" that need spending... Plus, the girls just managed to buy a leaky milk container and spilled a half a glass of 2% milk on the passenger seat of the '07 Vibe... I think they're trying to tell me something...
Cheers -Mathias
Also, I don't see a 2013 guess from you.
steine - if folks provide me with the mileage of their used car purchases I'll be happy to include them on the line item.
I put a top on my NA Miata myself and I did a better job than that. First time I had used a rivet gun, too.
Wonder where else they cut corners?
2009 Odyssey had 45k miles
2011 A5 had 17k miles
2007 Beetle had 56k miles
Both our 2013 punches were used:
2011 335xi had 27k miles
2010 328xiT had 21k miles

I'm still pretty confident with my guess of 15-17 for 2013. As I look at the 2012 punches I see a number of purchases from people who probably won't punch again this year (andre, jayrider, corvette).

of 'punches' here - so I am rather surprised.

0 punches in 2012 = provisional CCBA card extension ?
0 punches in 2012 = provisional CCBA card extension ?
Surprised by how many or how few punches there were in 2012?
I'm living vicariously through you guys. My last punch was February 2011. I hope that by maintaining this list I'll be granted my CCBA extension gratis.
I should talk, I got 3 new cars in 2008-2009 but then a dry spell since!
I'm in serious danger of losing my card, then. No punches expected for the family for at least two more years.
And, even then, I've got to convince the wife that:
1) It's ok to have more cars than drivers
2) It's ok for me to get a new / used car even though I work from home

Only if the savings at the pump meets or exceeds the payment.
I've thought about that a lot as I drive around delivering pizzas. My ION gets 23-25MPG. What if I traded it in for a Prius C? 53 city, 49 hwy, 50 combined. So, double the MPG of what I'm getting now.
I probably get 220-260 miles to a tank before I refill .. 10 or 11 gallons. The Prius C has a 9.5 gallon tank and would probably fill up with 8-8.5 gallons. So 400-425 miles to a tank.
Figure 3 gallons saved per fill up ($9 with recent RUG pricing), but I would need to fill up only half as much. Right now I fill up every 5 or 6 days - so, double that to 10-12 days. 11 gallons at $3/gal is $33 - multiply that by three and I'm at $100/mo savings. Plus the $10 I'd save each month with the smaller fill ups.
Can't buy or lease a Prius C for $110/mo.
Sucks when logic overpowers emotion when it comes to cars.

Colorado. I filled up the ION for $2.759/gal for RUG on Wednesday. It's gone up $.04 since then, so I suspect that we bottomed out this past week.
PUG is just under $3/gal at my local station, and probably around $3.10 for the 91 octane V-power at the local Shell.
Sorry, it's the nature of my job ... operations manager. Dealing with figures and what they mean.
As Mark Twain once said, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics!"
With the recent 335xi acquisition, the 530i doesn't serve much purpose other than sort of a "collectible" thing (nothing wrong with that).
So with all the miles I drive, I still would kinda like something that is practical and gets great gas mileage. I was strongly considering a VW TDI for awhile, and still am, but also have been intrigued with the Lexus CT200h, as they've started showing up on the used market. But my main reservation is the size, so naturally a Prius seems like a logical consideration.
Or with the X3 gone, I wouldn't mind a small SUV, like a CX-5 or CR-V.
But, I am trying to hold out the rest of the year with no more purchases.
Really.

Porsche---saw a 944 at my local garage. They wouldn't tell me who owned it or even what year it was. Very protective. Looked very much like those. Were/are 944s and 928s very similar? I confess to not knowing much about different Porsches other than they look cool and I can't afford one.
Eclipse---those 2Gs are very popular cars. If it was the AWD turbo I would grab it. My neighbor had a 99 hardtop with 88k miles for sale for $4800. Nice paint and ground effects. Looked good without being tarted up. I don't think he got his price.
48---I wonder if those really old cars are more fun to look at than drive.

I purchased the Fiesta on 8/23/12, used, 13.9K. I'm going to be reasonably conservative-yet-optimistic and shoot for 22 in 2013.

You and me both. There are quite a few cars I'd love to have, but my practical side precludes me from buying them.
As for oldfarmer's comment on old cars, I'd say that's absolutely true. Yet, somehow, I still find driving them to be fun (and I think fintail would agree). If they were driven on a daily basis, though, the novelty would wear off pretty quick.
I don't think the Prius ever made sense on purely economic grounds. Try one of those super economical gas-sippers like the Fit or Sonic.

Too good to be true. There's probably a body in the trunk.
But yeah, call anyway.

Just sell it when gas prices spike. Used Prius prices get absurd.
Auto Fit gets 30mpg but Prius gets 50. Diminishing returns at that point, but when you account for resale the math makes sense.
