The Thinking of Purchasing A Used Car Thread
I figured I’d create this thread rather than hunting down one of the old ones that are specific to a certain make/model.

Do the 'crossover thing' SUVs are far more expensive in taxes and insurance. DC is making damn sure of that. Better gas mileage anyhow.

I had a 2004 GC and while it was usually running, it was notorious for needing small repairs every week it seemed like. The only thing that was quality on those trucks was the engine. The rest of the vehicle rotted away around it... eventually it developed electrical problems so I bailed on it.

My new car is stupid fast - I don't drive like a douche - but if someone wants to step up to the mic, they better be ready. I had my first challenger en route to work on Friday - G37 - I embarrassed him, I felt bad for him. It was a downright country rape job.

The 2 year old Forester I bought with 14.5K miles on it was a lease return. As mentioned, there are a lot of reasons people trade in low mileage cars.

I will also say that low miles isn't always a good thing. My sister-in-law has a five year old Civic with barely 28K miles on it. However, 100% of those miles have been hard-driven city miles. She sold her last Civic with the same kind of miles to someone I knew and they had a ton of problems with that thing later on. I wouldn't touch her car, despite being a Honda and having low miles.

For Dayze, I would definitely consider the Outback. You get the looks of a SUV but the feel of a car. Subarus seem to require more maintenance than other cars (you have a major service every 30K miles, for example) but if you do it, they seem to last forever.

For the 2011 Rangers with manual transmissions (couldn't find official ratings for autos)

Quote:
EPA estimated fuel economy is 22 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined with the manual and 19/24/21 with the automatic.
Here's a short thread on Edmunds talking about Ranger mpg

http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f155b32/0

It looks like most people with the 4.0L V6 get 2ub-20's mpg.

Also, my wife's parents have an extended cab Colorado 2wd pickup with the 5 cylinder engine and auto tranny and get mid to upper 20's. It has been a trouble free rig for them so you might look that direction, too.

I have an old 1997 Acura Integra. That thing had all the orginal belts, cables, etc. until about two years ago. Those Honda engines are definitely reliable.

So I guess I should ask...

What small pickup out there gets the best MPG?

Again, looking for small pickup, rwd, automatic. Not looking to spend a lot...just want something to get me to and from work...and sometimes haul the trash in the back.

Ranger...s10...sonoma...? Who has the best MPG?

If MPG is your biggest concern, a truck probably isn't the way to go.

Sorry you wasted your time.

That isn't what I'm looking for.

I currently own an Xterra. It wasn't my first choice, but when I returned the Jeep it was sitting there and I could afford to pay cash for it. It's got about 80k and runs great. In fact it's the best car ever made. Wanna buy it?

we were going to look at one tonight, as a matter of fact. about the same mileage etc.

And if you don't believe me, ask a mechanic. Typically they'll tell you the cars they see in the shop the least are Hondas.
LOL, don't ask this mechanic. Because the Accord, Pilot and Odyssey keep me employed.
