Have you ever owned registered and insured two vehicles at the same time before? I'm curious if you know you're trading one problem for at least two.

IBM camaro · 09-28-2014, 12:04 AM

Well I'm not to worried about the registration or insurance it's like 6% sales tax here in Texas and about 90 a month to get it insured since I'm buying cash I just need liability.

It's because I've spent about 14k in repairs over the years on my camaro it's been superchargred 2 times already and I'm looking to keep it but not as my primary car.

Your list of cars your looking for is definitely on the higher class scale. When I bought my Camaro I knew I couldn't drive it everyday. So I searched craigslist and bought a used cavalier just to get around in. Worked for me for almost 2 years. But the wife got pregnant, (still trying to find the bastard lol) and I dumped it for a 14 cruze that I leased. It worked out for me so my Camaro is paid off and in another 2.5 yrs I'll give the cruze back and find a car to buy.

c5Legend · 09-29-2014, 03:12 PM

14k can you find a used LS Camaro for that? I've seen some high mileage ones pretty cheap

A4 or CTS if I had to choose.

What happened? What went wrong with your Camaro??

DarkneSS · 09-29-2014, 05:59 PM

I bought a 99 subaru legacy wagon in stick shift for $1800. Its comfortable, low key, manual, good mpg, and I couldnt possibly care less where I park it or what happens to it. I can afford to light it on fire and buy 5 more.

Why is the Camaro breaking down so often? These are relatively new vehicles.

One Sick Camaro · 09-29-2014, 06:10 PM

my daily is a 09 hhr ss lol actually fun to drive.

shine2013 · 09-29-2014, 09:21 PM

My car when I started college was a BMW. They're reliable, especially under a 100k miles. Only thing I had to replace on my 7 Series was my brakes. OP that's like comparing apples to watermelons. Two different things, especially cost and satisfaction wise.

LEADfoot927 · 09-29-2014, 09:38 PM

Used BMW's, especially 335i is among the worst car reliability wise. In fact, the 335i rated the worst car ever for the first few years of production.
