Im 20 and in college and now that you mention your age you may not want to get it if you are anything like me. I can not stop buying stuff for it (radio, wheels, turbo parts) even when I need to save money.

Thanks for your input. You have a good point, thats for sure. It'll be my daily until I move to Seattle and get something else, and I don't plan on adding anything severe (for my wallet) until after I get another vehicle.

How long have you had yours?

I have had it for a year and not since I bought it I have spent roughly 6k on it.

These cars are scary appreciating. I bought my '00 silverstone on red/black with 32k original miles absolutely flawless. No clutch buzz, didn't burn a DROP of oil. NO funny noises, even the common ones that are considered normal...for $12.5k cash. And at the time it was considered an 'okay' deal

Granted that was back in 2008

Have you checked the prices on Cars.com? You would be pressed to find one with twice the milage for under 25k. DO IT!
