Well, I might be selling a piece of property I own, and will have a few bucks. It isn't worth much but is in a prime location but has been rendered unbuildable by all the zoning.
So, I will have enough to either pay the taxes on the house for the next
25 years, or buy a car and get rid of a lot of my 'collection'.
Or, should I FIX the collection for about 1/3 of the cost of a new car?
In the running:
Matrix, preferably AWD or, perhaps, an XRs Scion tC, although I could use the functionality of a wagon Subaru Impreza Sport, AWD and a wagon, but the prices of Subies have gone through the roof!
Or, a Mazda 3, probably a 3-door hatch. Everything I used to like about my older Toys, and at a decent price, too. And they are all built in Japan, a BIG consideration for me! The Subies are 50/50, the tC is Japanese, and the Matrix is Canadian only.
Or, i could save a few bucks, get a Vibe, and replace the Delcos when they blow out in 3-5 years...
