My niece was looking at a 2005 Honda Element with 65K on it... For about $13K!
I suggested that since this was probably the best opportunity in the history of the motor vehicle to buy a new car CHEAP! (well, since the Model T) we ought to consider an alternative or two.
She liked all the Subaru models, the Mazda 3 and the Matrix, too. Well, I suggested she take a look at the 2nd Generation 2009 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L 5-speed with a/c loss leader that was in the paper for $13,900, since I had GM Card earnings (a "credit") for over $2K!
$16,935 Mulroney, discounted to $13,900 + license & registration - the GM Card credit = $12,055.64 out the door, with traction control, Stabilitrac(? spelling), tire pressure monitoring system, electric power steering, 205/55HR16 Goodyear Eagle RA tires, 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes, and a pretty decent stereo! Rated 26/32 EPA
Made in the US of A, too!
