Re: Need New DD...~15k

Shamless plug for Whitebear Mitsu in 3..

I recently test drove a TDI for fun, and was very impressed, 40+mpg, 240tq, and deisel longevity. I will definitly be looking into them when I purchase another car. not sure what is in the 15k range they seem to hold their value really well but alot have higher miles as they are bought to drive, here is a quick one I pulled of CL

I'm ok with that if he has anything worth while there for 15k lol.

I would love a small suv, but suv's are kinda pricey. Like the new mitsu suv's are solid looking but too pricey i think.

No seriously though, I've got a lot of really good options for DD in the range.

2012 Ford Focus. These two were the lowest price ones in the state (at their package level) 3 months ago when they were selling for 17,999. Now they're even lower priced! Sunroof, SYNC system, Twin Clutch Auto, up to 45MPG, and surprisingly decent pick up for a 2.0.
http://www.whitebearautos.com/used-i...9cd7cdf78cd556

2004 Golf R32. If you want to stay AWD and fun.
http://www.saintpaulautos.com/used-i...saintpaulautos

2009 Jetta TDI.
http://www.saintpaulautos.com/used/V...f129a30b2e.htm

2011 Kia Forte EX. The cheap econo box. If you want something with super low miles and don't really care that the car is just 5 wheels, an engine, heat and AC. I got one here.
http://www.whitebearautos.com/used/K...a8e19caaa0.htm

2011 Mazda 3. You could liberality copy him.
http://www.whitebearautos.com/used/M...e066e87e36.htm

2011 Mazda 6 Sport with the 2.5
http://www.whitebearautos.com/used/M...6a82befdad.htm

2008 Saturn Vue if you wanna go the small SUV route.
http://www.whitebearautos.com/used/S...cdd025d51b.htm

I've got a bunch of other really good options with low miles. I don't want to spam this post though. Stop in and see me and we can talk about all the other options.

You around Saturday? I plan to hit a few places, maybe I will start with you.

I for sure want to hit the TDI golf though that rosey posted, I looked at the interior shots and specs etc and I am liking the looks of those. I like the idea of turbo diesel a lot too.

Yep, I'll be in Saturday from 9-6. If you want me to get any of the VW's let me know in advance (by Friday). I'd have to go get them from another lot.

I also have a speed 6 for 14k

If you can find a Golf TDI like Rosey posted, do it! One stop shop for me then that day possibly
