Help me buy my next car
The other car thread got me thinking that maybe I should ask you guys what kind of car I should buy.
Here is what you need to know. 1. I have a wife, son, and 105 lb dog (GSD). 2. I live in Iowa, so I don't want anything that would suck in bad weather. 3. My wife drives a Subaru Outback. I love it. Awesome car in shitty weather, and since its AWD, there is no guess work when to use 4WD. We have a divered so the dog stays out of the front. 4. We don't really travel with the dog, but we take her down the road to hang out with my father-in-laws GSD every day, so she's in the car twice a day. What I'm looking for. 1. I want a vehicle with some size. If we were going to load up and go on a trip, I want a vehicle that has some cargo space. 2. Need decent gas mileage, but realize what I'll get with AWD of 4WD 3. If its over 6000, I would qualify for a business tax deduction. 4. I entertain clients, so needs to be nice. Vehicles I've thought about. 1. New Ford F150, Chevy, GMC, Ram. - Crew Cab short box throw a topper on it for the dog. Like the idea of keeping the cabin clean. 2. I can't believe what the new Tahoes and Surburbans go for. 3. Larger mid-size SUVs, GMC Arcadia, Ford Explorer, really any mid-size SUV, would do. 4. Somedays I'm like fu@k it, and just get another Outback, but I know I'll miss the size. |
