Default Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?

Totally happy with our cars - newest cars we ever had.

2005 Dodge Caravan - Love it.

Frankly we would consider a hybrid though if we had more cash. I Am not keen on the mileage.

I have generally driven 10-15 year-old cars my entire driving career - had my van about 9 months. Enjoying it but frankly I think my next car is going to be old. There is so much to be said for lower insurance and not worrying or caring if someone hits your car or something happens to it. My personal dream car is a 2000 Camaro - just not practical for now.

My dh has a 2000 Ford Escort with little miles on it. HE loves compact cars so keeps him happy. The gas mileage is phenomenal. Not planning to replace either car for a LONG time. I Am guessing when mine peters out I Will go back to sports cars and dh will get a compact hybrid when his peters out. If he is working significantly we can save the cash for a nice hybrid which I Would not feel as comfortable going used, why we have stayed away so far. Way out of our car budget for now since we only buy with cash.

IT is nice having both a family van and a super compact car for city driving and parking - best of both worlds.
