(this is gon be a long thread...)
im getting tired of the vibe... (go figure i know), its not that its a bad car or anything... im just ready to move on, i mean I have had it like what 6-7 months? thats pretty long right?
in the past year i have of course had my gtp, along with a lifted cherokee, then a cadillac deville, and now a 03 pontiac vibe awd.
sooo once my tax return arrives, im going to begin hunting for something else...
looking to spend between 10k-15k, but will if its something that i cannot live without, spend up to 17 (350 a month/5 years/ ~7% which I dont reallly want to go that long.. but... a very nice 04 cts-v or 3 can be had around 16-17k...)
soooo here is what i have been seriously considering so far...
1. 02/03 ford f250/f350 7.3diesel 4wd crewcab/supercab... I want one of these because the hillbilly in me ssseeerrriously misses my lifted jeep, being able to rip over lots of things in my path was badass, along with the fact that a straight piped 7.3 being one of the most badass sounding engines imo. (o and i want a lifted one) so positives:
2. 04-06 gto
the main reason i am interested in these, is because of how cheap they have gotten... they can be had for less than 15k for a reallly nice ride... mtx would be ideal but id settle for an auto (i dont want to sink sick money into this since the pricks is the money pit.)
postitives:
3. 04 cts-v...
ls6 caddy- nuff said (i said 04s cuz 05-06s arent anywhere as cheap..)
positives:
any other ideas? please post up, ive been looking at ebay (aka not too seriously considering): s500's, e46 m3s, audi wagons (like the allroad badass lifted ones)
things i need it to be... newer than 02... my bank wont finance on older than that... this is huge... less than 15k unless its something so ridiculously badass that i cant pass it up... i want it also be capable of getting at least 18-20 mpg...

(o and i want a lifted one) so positives:
- snow capable (can rip it in the snow quite easily
- can be made decently quick with a tuner/intake/some exhaust work
- hillbilly shits awesome
- its a fucking lifted f250, what are the people of schaumburg going to do as i baja into them when they piss me off when going to school
- fuel prices.... yeah they can get up to 18-20mpg... but what happens when diesel goes to 5$ a gallon again (will it?)

postitives:
- decently quick
- sexy as all hell
- comfy interior
- reliable- im not afraid to really have to work on one
- how much really more is the price going to plummet!? especiallly when the new camaro's come out!
- rwd aka no real intense snow driving... no way my boards would fit
- im gonna want to dump money into it...
3. 04 cts-v...
ls6 caddy- nuff said (i said 04s cuz 05-06s arent anywhere as cheap..)
positives:
- i dont think we need to even go into why cts-vs are badass
- id prollly hit something with it in the snow, for sure.
- snowboard isnt going to fit.
- $$$$$ to fix. $$$$ to insure (everyone crashes these for some reason)
- id have to travel far to get one in my price range (none around here are like 16k...)
