2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I've had my forty-seven year-old pickup for nineteen years now, and I know I would have surely bought a truck (at least once) by now if I didn't have it there for the times I need it. As it is, I am free to foolishly spend that money on other things!

The sport model is only available in those four colors? That is sad.

My son in CA has been driving a mid 90's Mustang for the last 5 or so years. It's been a total money drain, which my folks have been helping him with.
Might make sense to get him a new Cruze or Sonic when I'm out in CA in a couple of weeks.
I'd cosign the loan with him, but hopefully we could keep the payments at a reasonable level for him to afford.
I found this at a Chevy dealer pretty close to where he lives:

Subtract the $4K of points from it and you've got a decent car for not a lot of money.

Yes, they fixed the lever on the second try and all is good. Personally, I love the blue over ivory which surprises me because have always gone with black or more recently, gray. The A3 is white over black but on that vehicle, it works...almost got the black over black but not something we really wanted to be honest. Have seen the A3 in other nicer colors around lately though.

Well, no, that's not exactly true. What troubles me about high miles relates to VALUE, not mechanicals. Remember, I already drive a car that barely beat out Fiat in the reliability tables. (takes your breath away, doesn't it?)
Here's my reasoning, as warped as some might perceive it:
Let's say that statistically (YRMV) a modern car has an life expectancy of from 175K to 225K. Yes, yes, some cars make it past that and some die beforehand...but statistically, let's say that's "realistic"
So, following that train of thought when buying a used car, once the car hits 175K or more, it should, logically, be worthless.
So yeah, I buy a very nice Porsche with 150K that has been lovingly cared for, and I pay, say $11,500. Now in a few years when I run the mileage up to 180K or more, who is going to buy such a car? Even I wouldn't at that mileage mark.
So, I could end up with a rather savage rate of depreciation on a high mileage car.
Unlike the man who buys the brand new Mercedes S65 AMG and cheerfully absorbs a deprecation of $30,000 a year, I recoil at even a $4,000 a year massacre.

I'm under some pressure because the MINI needs brakes and rotors all around and I'm worried about the clutch.
What about this for not much more? It is a model year newer and a more substantial car.

Luckily the tires are wearing nicely and hoping to get close to 50K on them before replacing. Not sure if I'll go to Tires Plus like we usually do, they also own Firestone or vice versa, or check out the Goodyear store down the street. Saw a pretty meaty tire there and the guy I spoke with says they price match...will have to check this out also. Have Continentals right now and as I said, they are wearing very well.

Originally, liked the Tiguan in SE trim but it was a bit on the pricey side and a CPO unit would've made more sense. But things went a different way and here we are. Funny how we all get a new vehicle but immediately start looking for it's replacement down the road...very rare that we find a vehicle that makes us stop the hunt. Think this is because with all the changes out there, there's always something down the road which peaks our interest and eventually has to be the gotta have it vehicle we just can't live without. Funny, I now have the perfect job to someone who is afflicted with the new car syndrome, with so many makes and models to try out and the best part is never knowing what I'm going to drive next!

This would be a purchase, not a lease. Kid would make the payments.

A co-worker has a Cruze.... LTZ maybe? It's really nice and comfortable (his is a 2012 and basically has all options that do not require the addition of leather seating), and it has a manual transmission!
