Which I can’t buy until my wife gets her car first as agreed upon... *grumbles* And I have work tomorrow *more annoyed sounds*... but I’m just thinking about ditching out and going car shopping. Or maybe see if there are any cars I can look at in each city that I’ll be working in. *no sounds*

16 Paseos and 16 Tracers?

Just got hired on to a new full time job, I am already deciding on what to get in a few months. The 4Runner is quickly becoming a money pit, so I don’t know how long it’s going to last as a daily.

Allroad.

Do you have any frontrunners at the moment?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > jkm7680 09/25/2015 at 21:56

As tempting as that is, and will always be, I decided that I don’t think I can give up the third pedal just yet. And as you and I have conversed previously, manual Allroads in even decent condition are too scarce.

I want to rally a Paseo with an engine swap, preferably in the middle. Convertible one for extra effect.

Honestly, I want another Subaru. I learned to drive in one, and I miss the charm. I’m thinking Outback XT if I can find one how I want it within a reasonable distance.

jkm7680 > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 09/25/2015 at 21:59

Exactly how I feel about it.

The Allroad is the only car that I would consider selling my A6 for at the time being. I just couldn’t find one locally in comparable condition to my A6. I’d still love to own one though. Such an awesome car.

Honestly it’s less about wagon, and more about it being a good sleeper, though that’s due to it being a wagon.

At least you found something. I want to know how Mr. Regular found a Honda Fit for $5000. I can’t find anything near that price.

You’re gonna love what they charge for those plates too.

My 4Runner was over $400 in Florida to get it registered, how bad could it be?

It was less than 50 here in SC, and scarily enough I didn’t even have to have the VIN verified. I think I’ve found a better state register your illegal car in.

Is that sarcasm? Oregon charged $200.

Oh, you’re transferring FROM another state’s plates? I thought you were just having to get new plates for some odd reason — in WA you need to buy new plates every seven years. Scam.

Thanks! I didn’t expect to get it because I’m by no means qualified, but apparently something impressed them. Pay isn’t the greatest, but the 100% paid for insurance after 3 months makes up for that.

As an Asthmatic, that will save me a fortune. My meds without insurance is nearly 300 a month. I know that’s not much compared to some peoples, but that’s a lot for a little aerosol puffer.

I bet. My girl has asthma and uses a nebulizer from time to time (especially in the winter) so I know how important having insurance is, it really does help.

Yep, winter is usually my worst season, but my only real flair ups in the past few years was when I spent a winter in PA. I live in SC now, so hopefully it won’t be that bad.

They’re really not that bad. Biddle is a good place too. Family owned not affiliated with a manufacturer. I’ve been dealing with Toyota of Kirkland all week on a Taco. We can’t get there on the price and I’m walking away but there’s still mutual respect.

Are you gunning for a ‘16 Taco? They have them out for sale at Rodland Toyota over here already.

No a 2015. Hoping to leverage the price down because the 2016’s are starting to come out. They only want to give me $2,500 for my A4 which by dealer standards is fair but it still hurts. I think I’m going to wait until after the first of the year after the wife is back at work and the day care bills are assessed in the monthly budget. I’m just afraid the Audi is time bomb ticking away.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Spaceball-Two 09/25/2015 at 23:35

Have you thought about trying to sell that A4 to a private party and then using that cash towards a down payment on the Taco? Though if I recall you guys don’t have a spare car at the moment...

Take a gander at used A4’s in the Seattle area on CL. It’s a sea of leaking seals and electrical gremlins.

This dealer is former customer of mine when I used to run flooring lines of credit. If you see something you like let me know. I can get you a deep discount.

They do have a nice Matrix — in my wife’s least favorite color on that model. But I told her beforehand that color is just going to have to drop in priorities and she agreed.

They usually have more on the lot than is what is on the site. They move inventory real quick. Nice guys there. Dan and Bill.

Those are great cars. They’ll come down on the price. I assure you.

If you go talk to Dan the owner, Bill the finance guy and Doug the salesman. Tell them Tim Stoves (me) sent you. If they ask how we know one another probably don’t say “the internet”, ha ha.

How’d you guess?

Truth is, the van being perfect for road trips, kids, and stuff is what will allow me to get that Miata. So, I really can't complain.
