Just curious what you retirees are rolling in, I'm pretty low key in a 2014 Passat,. My brother is also retired and loves his toys - 2 Harley's, a chevy 4x4, and a 2012 Benz
I can think of several reasons, for starters:
Maybe some one is in the market for a 2003 diesel Jetta with 312k miles on it, or a 2004 Hyundai XG 350L with 38K.
Your house looks very much like the house we owned in Texas. Any chance it's a Ryland home with a floorplan that starts with a "H"?
I think most people just want autos for transportation...
A 2009 Toyota Venza. It has barely over 26,000 miles on it.
I'm not retired, can I play? 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo (first car and toy), 1993 Ford F150 (beater/work truck), 2004 (the TeenDuh) and 2012 Honda CRv's (wifes car).
We're looking at replacing the HiHy.... but haven't figured out with what. Looking at a few year old Subaru, Rogue, or CRV. I want a smaller car, DH wants it to sit high, and we both want stickshift... that limits our choices.
I drive my DW crazy.I drive a hard bargain.
I think most people just want autos for transportation. That being the case something not too expensive and durable will fit the bill. I really like driving and therefore a large part of the reason I have autos is for entertainment. Comparing my choices to others would be useless and only cause an arguement. Furthermore, why would anyone care how many miles you have on it?
You have your first car? Wow! That's cool. Mine wasn't worth having but if I could have my old favorite back, that would be sweet. It was an 1987 Grand National - it got stolen.
2007 Rabbit. Bought it new. It hasn't even crossed the 35,000 mile marker yet and looks nearly new. I don't drive a lot, and cars are strictly utilitarian for me. I really like the fold down back seat/hatch--holds a ton of stuff.
