IMO, a good used car is a good decison if you have DIy time. I bought a nice used Acura Cl for that reason, to jump into mods and troubleshooting. No major issues, did a valve clearance, CAI, pulleys, and all sorts of cool stuff all myself. And vested in a good amt of tools. I;m from NYC and never wanted a car until I moved to Nj for work. In the end I love learning new things and there's nothing more pathetic than a man, (note- my corporate co-workers) who can;t change his own oil or wiper blades. Serious, my boss took his car to mechanic for wiper blades. I wanted to smack him upside his face and steal his car. A beautiful Saab so negelected. 2006 and deteriorating leather, paint, and the engien idles off. And he doesn't even make much $$$. lol! live and learn
Happy waxing everyone
