So I've had the same car since I got my license about 3 years ago. It is a Red Ford Windstar 2001 LX. I got it when it had like 185,000 miles, and now it's going on at 220,000. The transmission's pretty jerky, and I've been saving up for another used car.

I decided I will have enough money for a 25% ($5000) deposit and I will take out a loan for the remaining amount on a used car that's approximate $20,000 to $25,000, *if* I secure a full-time job for next year (I will find out later this week)

So I've basically been in love with this car for the last year:

[image loading]

It's a Dodge Charger SRT-8, boasting 425 brake horsepower from a normally aspirated 6.1 L V8 and all-American muscle car styling.

But recently, I'm falling in love with this car:

[image loading]

This one's the 2006 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG, with 470+ brake horsepower from a supercharged 5.5 L V8, with European styling.

But then again, I thought a car like this might be more useful for hauling stuff (and people) around:

[image loading]

The all American Chevrolet Suburban, lots of passenger space, and it looks sharp too. 5.3 L V8 with mid 300's horsepower.

And these two are also fine too around the same price range:

[image loading]

2006 Jeep Cherokee SRT-8, same engine as the Charger SRT-8 above.

[image loading]

Chrysler 300 SRT-8, same engine as above.

I am also probably going to put emergency red and white flashers and a siren on for kicks so I can help out on local fire/EMS calls (I'm a paramedic)

What car do you think looks the sharpest, fun to drive, and most reliable? Opinion from people who own any of these cars greatly appreciated!

Here's a poll:
[image loading]

Poll: Which car appeals to you the most?
(Vote): Dodge Charger SRT-8
(Vote): Mercedes Benz E55 AMG
(Vote): Chevrolet Suburban
(Vote): Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8
(Vote): Chrysler 300 SRT-8
(Vote): Just buy a damn prius

Also, know anywhere other than Autotrader.com or Motors.ebay.com or Craigslist.com where I can find sale by owner used cars?

Yeh, the economy is kind of a worry.

One side of me tells me that I should just save up and buy a used car I can fully pay for in cash, so I don't have to take out a loan.

What could you recommend that would be cheaper than these as used cars, and also decently stylish? I'm going to ride my minivan until it busts though, as cheap as I am :-P

if you don't get a prius, get a 300. Better a great looking chrysler than a cheap looking mercedes

If you get anything large than a car you are wrong.

Also 4-door chargers are ugly as sin.

Why would you put so much money (you don't even have btw) into a car who loses a lot of worth every year? Either lease it, or buy a car you can pay yourself. If however, you must have one of these, please pick the Mercedes, it's the only real quality car of all the five.

EDIT: Also, get it in black and exchange the rims, keke?

Why do people care so much about horsepower? None of these cars appeal to me, if I have to choose, it'll be the benz.

Why don't you buy a car that you can actually afford and doesn't require obscene amounts of fuel? Is a fat car necessary for your ego? You'd think a guy who has the wits to be a paramedic would be more reasonable.

Chrysler might be going out of business, so that is a risk. On the other hand you will be helping america and the economy by buying one.

To be honest I think all of them look ugly.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

+67.

Also I don't recommend the Chrysler 300 at all... the weird shape makes the windows smooshed vertically which impairs visibility.

I don't recommend as a v8 for a daily driver pretty much ever.

I'm also not into luxury cars like mercedes so I can't help you much. I wouldn't get any of those cars... probably a 4 cylinder turbo.

About to be sold to Fiat I think.
