Well… I have been pimping out a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport
We bought it off of Tommy's co-worker for 150 bucks because it broke down on him in a parking lot and he didn’t know how to fix it. It was a simple fix too! Just replacing the belts lol
It looks like the biggest piece of **** ever but it runs
It is a nasty hunter green color with scratches down the rear driver side quarter panel and the front bumper is held up by some sort of wire....
This is only temporary, because once we move to the ATL I will not need a car since I will be working from home.... which will save me tons of money to put down on a car when we move back to Texas

bought for 150 - part to fix and maintain another 100 = total investment 250
We are going to sell it before we leave and should be able to get about 1000-1500 for it so I dont mind driving it around knowing that I made some money off of it!
Sad to say, but the driver seat is much more comfortable than the Z was - it has so much padding and 2 arm rests

Okay I may no longer be a Z owner but I am going to flame the owner of this one
His rims were seriously just some fancy donuts, I know that the picture is crap and it is hard to tell but his filament was horrible
Some one please tell him to at least get some spacers
The rims on the van were wider than on this car…
What a shame
Not only that, the douche bag was romping on it trying to be cool and almost took out a curb

I am thinking about selling my Toyota Tacoma and getting a Honda Fit.
Or maybe a Toyota Corolla S, Scion xB, or Ford Focus.
Some of these might be out due to price and year ( too new ).
Any thoughts ???
I just want a DD for good gas mileage.....I will have about 12k -15k to spend.

what they are doing is telling you the car has a 100K mile warranty, but what they are not telling you is that - YOU MUST follow the mainance schedule to the Tee and their maintenance schedule is rediculous and expensive.........if you have a warranty issue at 80K but did your own oil changes and replaced your own alternator, etc.....and NON of it is done through 'them' they wont honor your warranty....
read the "fine" print..
food for thought on those....

Before you purchase or even look into Hyundai or Kia or any of those that offer these "amazing" super long/high mileage warranties do your research online....
