1. So, you basically just listed all the factory options. That was pretty pointless. That said, here's what's important. Cars, right now, are depreciating at between 10-15% per year. So, let's figure an average of 13%. So, judging from a decent interest rate, etc, I'm going to guess you're putting a down payment of around 5,000-6000. Here's the fun part. Within two years, you will have spent your downpayment, plus another $6,000. So, a grand total of around $11,000 on the car. And you will still owe another $5000. However. At that point, the vehicle is only worth around 10,000. So, if you decide you don't want it anymore, you can sell it for 10, but 5 of that must pay off the remainder of the loan. Long story short, your 17k car is going to cost you around 22,000 by the time you're done. And if you sell it within the next two years, you'll only actually get 5k out of it. $22000 invested, for a $5000 return. Does that sound smart to you? Most intelligent people would say no.
2. I mean sounds good if you want to be in the shop all the time> then go for it.
3. well my mother in law owned one and she got rid of it.. i guess depends on how the weather is where you live, it is NOT good to drive in rain or snow.. so if you have perfect weather go for it!
