Time for another car
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:06 am
So ever since I put my car out of commission my parents have seriously been considering buying another car. We are still in the process of getting my car repaired and will eventually need a third car for the family. I've been looking it to this for my own interests and my parents 
. At first they told me to look at fuel efficient cars from the early to mid 90's. The three best I could find were VW turbo diesel jetta, Volvo 4d wagon, and Geo metro. I was strictly thinking of fuel efficiency but when I told my dad that 1.3 Geo metro got 50+ mpg he laughed. He changed his mind and said it didn't have to be the best mpg but better than what we have while the subie is out of commission, 87 carbed ford bronco that has gas issues 
so that put everything I could think of back on the table, lately I've been side tracked working on my car, and haven't put much though into any other cars. Then all of a sudden my older brothers girlfriends step dad came by with an 96 Hyundai accent that he's looking to get rid of for cheap. I looked into this car and so far it don't look bad pretty sure this guy wont screw us by selling us a Lemmon we've known him for a while. I don't want to pass up a good deal but I still wish it were a Subaru instead.

I would probably have never considered the accent unless my older brothers girlfriends step dad hadn't came by with his. And if we pass this up for 95-98 subie theres no telling how long we could be insearch of a good used cheap subie. Just dont know what to do. I didn't know Hyundai was the equivalent of a Killed in action Kia. 
I don't want to drive something like that. 
. If I ever get my car into the kind of shape that I would like to see, maybe I’ll put some money it to it, right after our Bronco 
. Sorry to report the bad news.
