Buy something you're not even remotely proud of. THat way you won't be pissed when it comes home with dents in the roof from kids running over top of it, jumping from car to car, runing into it, ect.

College is rough on cars.


BTW I fixed you title spelling, I didn't think was making pics.

Exactly! I started my daughter out driving a coule of years ago with a KIA Optima for that reason.Kids on the roof of a car just doesn't do the sheet metal good. When that wasn't good enough, Mom bribed her away with an 06 G6 GT that she eventually wrecked last month. Now she has gone off to College with NOTHING.

3800s in some Regals (GS models I think) , Lesabres and Park Avenues.

Wife got me this 93 Buford for fathers day to carry our 3 kids for $2,500 if I remember correctly. It has a little over 60K , other then old lady scratches it's almost showroom new. I thought it was a steal considering $2,500 these days doesnt buy much. 3800s are pretty hardy engines and one of the few left with cast iron heads. They do well for fuel economy; 28-30 mpg highway. The only problem is your daughter has to be open minded about driving an old geezers car.
