Well, now the answer is no.Ideally, both.
Any new cars/SUVs under $30K worth getting?

Good luck, IMHO your criteria unfortunately bumped into the $30k-$40k range .
With what you are looking for all i can say is good luck finding something !
It needs $6k worth of suspension and engine repairs, if I let indy shop do it. Carmax is offering $1k for it. Dealer trade in would be around $2k. I don't know if I could get much more than that trying to sell it privately.
Plus right now with winter around the corner, most people may not be interested in RWD up here in snow country. I might try to hang onto it until next Spring if I can't find anything to replace it with.
You're driving a 20 year old car. Why do you need to replace it with a brand new one?
Wouldn’t be bitog if someone didn’t point out that you can repair a lot of stuff for $30k.
If you can wait it it out, I would. Just keep looking and jump—really fast—if the right deal pops up.
This.
My old E90 makes all of the new basic American/Asian cars feel like little tykes plastic kids toys. It kinda sucks because now I'm used to the comfort and build quality that will be hard to replace.
If I were the OP I would look into a GTI or just a regular Golf. Solid feeling but still economical. The Jetta is nice too but the Golf has the advantages of a hatch. If I had to replace my E90 I'd probably get a Golf with a 6MT.
Because I don't want to inherit other people's problems. And used car prices are what they are these days.
Ever heard of a pre-purchase inspection? And could a newer car that you have checked out need more work over the next 3 years than the $6,000 in work yours needs now?
Because he wants to. Why are you questioning what someone else wants to do? Does it have any impact on you whatsoever? No. Don’t ask stupid questions.
You don’t need to feed the troll or explain your actions. It’s absolutely no business of his whatsoever what you do with your money or why. He’s on many of our ignore lists for this reason specifically.
Geez, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? It was just a question. Many of the replies here say new cars are basically junk or to put money into your current car. Apparently I'm not on YOUR ignore list.

List it for sale for $3K privately- it will likely sell in a minute to someone willing to do all the work. List everything it needs - which will actually help it sell - someone won't feel like your hiding anything. $6K at the shop could easily be 1/3 that to a DIY'r and be quite worth it for them.
You might be on his ignore list....
You are on my ignore list but every once in awhile I feel like beating my head on a concrete block wall so I click the "you are ignoring this member" message and see who it is.
Your posts dont show up but when people quote you the "you are ignoring this member shows up instead"
So there is actually an ignore LIST? If I don't want to read somebody's post, I just don't read it. Don't need a list for that.
When I bought my 2022 Frontier a few weeks back, my local Nissan store had a few new Altimas on the lot. One SV model was right at $30K IIRC. S models can be had for a few grand less, but they'd have to do a dealer locate for you.
Man how times have changed. $30K for a "budget" altima.
You are on my ignore list. Occasionally I’ll see your post to see if you’ve learned and stopped saying stupid **** but I’m always let down.
