If you found yourself with an unexpected 30K

[Lady Godiva]

and needed a new car, what would you buy?

2010 Taurus. The Taurus has lots of room and some neat features.

 

[LoraJ]

That depends. Do I have enough sacked away in savings? How many people would be riding in the car normally?

We bought our 2010 Prius in cash. I love it!!!!
My 2nd fave car is a Mini Cooper.

A Mini Cooper!

An Acura TL I love that is seems to be smiling at you.

 

[FINFAN]

probably a 2 year old Honda Odyssey staying as close to 25 as possible and then take a 2 week trip and drive it to WDW with the $ left over Either way, I would probably get a car 2 years old...the depreciation is just brutal on new ones.

 

[Lady Godiva]

it sure does look like it's smiling. I'm not feeling the love for the Mini Cooper and nothing that looks like a box, like the Element I don't have kids so not too worried about lots of room.

 

[OK!]

I'd get a 2010 Camaro and have my dad negotiate the price down so it got in under $30K.

Wouldn't be buying a NEW car. Would be buying something not too old with a good reliable reputation. Then would be using the rest of the money to add to savings or pay down credit card bills. Something in the 3-4yr old model category will often be just as good as a brand new car. Also cheaper.

A DVC membership and a used clunker...


JK!

If I had an extra $30k, I'd be getting a bright red 2010 Mazda RX-8 .

Honda Pilot

ohhhhhh, I like that

I seriously have dreams about that car. I told DF that it's going to be my graduation present once I finish nursing school!

Absolutely!

 

[Sorsha]

Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. I am COVETING one of these. Exterior in "Kiwi Green Metallic".

 

[perdidobay]

I'd buy a used Jeep outfitted for extreme offroading and use the rest of the money to take a trip out west and go exploring in the Colorado mountains.

Heaven on earth!

Ford Escape Hybrid SUV for me too. A standard model brand new can be bought for under 30k, so maybe a slightly used one can be purchased for even less.

I have an Escape right now and I LOVE IT!!! It's not a hybrid, though, and I would like to upgrade to get some of the newer features.

My Escape has been problem-free since I bought it. A great car.

 

[OK!]

Absolutely!

Have you seen the Synergy Green ones in person? Part of me says, "No, go for a classic color," but the other part says, "Raaaaaawwwrrrrr!"

 

[Planogirl]

Personally I'd buy a used car and use the rest for other things. I want a low mileage Thunderbird. I would try to find the model built previously to the current version.
