so, i'm looking to get a reliable daily driver.
i'm undecided if i should go small and efficient or get a truck and eventually a trailer for the 914. right now, the 914 is still streetlegal and can get itself to the track. but that might change at some point. on the other hand, i don't really need anything huge for most of my daily driving, so a smaller, more efficient car seems like a good choice as well ... HELP! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) btw. i don't really want to buy brand new. currently, my budget for this is about ~$300 per month. how much car will that buy me?

Don't get any Dodge trucks. They are typically sh*t.
I'd get a cheapo Civic. |

QUOTE(jd74914 @ Apr 10 2007, 08:37 PM)  Don't get any Dodge trucks. They are typically sh*t. I'd get a cheapo Civic. I would disagree with the Dodge truck comment. I have 2006 Ram quad cab with out the hemi and it is a great truck. I tow a LOT with it over 30k in on year. No problems. Before that was 02 Dodge Dakota, big V6 great mid size truck that I pulled may a car & trailer with. Again no problems. One of the Best trucks I ever owned was a 96 F150 XLT with I6. Great truck! Better gas milage (for a truck, around 23 mpg) could tow my cars. It was not the fastest thing in the world, but man I loved it. Andy, if you think you are going to start trailering your 914 to tracks your going have to bite the bullet and get a truck / SUV that can pull it. Maybe buy a cheaper gas sipper until you really need a trcuk, but none the less you will need a truck to pull a car & trailer. |
