Cook Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have a 2006 Silverado 4WD V8 and its just not practical anymore for me since I got my new position. Im looking to trade it in, or sell it private party then purchase something more economical. What are your suggestions? So far I've looked into: Subaru Legacy GT Subaru WRX BMW 325xi coupe Chevy Cruze Ford Fusion Cadillac CTS any other ideas? If I sell my truck private party I would probably buy something under $10k, but i'll most likely be trading it in and buying something between 15k-20k oh, and anyone in the area, I'm selling this for $10500: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Chevy Cruze are cool! I like the new Malibu also. My friend just got a Jetta TDI, and I think is in love with it to this point! Should be seeing it's premiere on here next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Out of those choices...I would go with the CTS. I really like the body style on that car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So far I've looked into: Subaru Legacy GT Subaru WRX BMW 325xi coupe Chevy Cruze Ford Fusion Cadillac CTS Looking over your list......how about Mercedes C300 (since you put the Cadillac CTS). I would lean towards the Mercedes C300 or Ford Taurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 a friend of mine is a Master Technician for Inskip Mercedes Benz and suggests never to 'own' a MB.. lease with servicing included is fine.. and according to my bro-in-law, same goes for BMW.. out of what you suggested, I think the Chevy Cruze is a cool looking car.. you can get a brand new one with plenty of options and its in your price range, plus you get the new OnStar* app for your Droid or iPhone..

BlueGenCoupe Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'd get a BMW or WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 When it comes time for me to get a daily driver I am going to get another subaru. I had one for a little while and it was a great car. Unless an American car company can make a fun to drive hatchback with all wheel drive, something like the wrx would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 If you want a really blinged out, well optioned out fuel efficient car, I'd look at the new Focus coming out. It's a pretty impressive vehicle. Don't think of it as an econobox of the past. They're finally giving us what the Europeans have had for years. Well optioned, fuel efficient cars. I think you'd be surprised to see what you can get on it. The new Focus ST will have 250bhp (give or take) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said there constantly having to bring it into the shop to get it repaired! One of the few that I have heard that about VW's. Everyone in my family that has had a VW had excellent service out of them. My father had six (Rabbit, Fox, Passat) over the years and had excellent service (one of them was a Diesel rest Gasoline).

Mato Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'd go with the Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If you go the VW route the Jetta sedans were changed for 2010 or 2011 and they seem to be not as nice and feel a lot cheaper now. The wagons are still on the old platform and are nice .. for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
