I have 5 grand and want to replace my worn out Jetta with something not so worn out. I don't want payments so it is obviously going to be used. I kinda narrowed it down to maybe a Passat (I can find a newer body style if I look real hard.) Or maybe a 93 Lexus LS400, 250 hp and from what I read are pretty solid cars.
Oh and it has to be a 4 door so a 928 is out. I tried talking her into it, but she won't budge. I almost broke down and picked up a 98 Chrysler Town & Country, but after some research I found the trannys suck. I then thought about a Volvo 850 T5. Anyways your help is much appreciated.

If you want a car with no passion to it get the Lexus.
I consider ours an appliance. It always works and does what you want it to do but it just not that fun in any way. I used to have Volvo Rear wheel drive wagons until I got a V70. It was under warranty and had $5000 of repairs in 1 year. That is when I decided on the Lexus. Good luck |
