Need some thoughts on crazy ideas... Posted by MisplacedYankee [Email] (#1756) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MisplacedYankee) on Fri, 13 Jun 2003 08:27:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I currently drive a 2002 aero - like the car, but miss the character and the hatch in my Viggen (I had a 2000 Blue Coupe). I am thinking about selling my aero and buying a used Viggen - most likely with higher mileage - maybe out of warranty - adding a few mods and keeping the car for a while (like 5 years or more). Of all the cars I have owned the Viggen stands out as my favorite. The aero is awesome, but just too refined for my tastes.
Pros:
- much lower payment
- hatchback
- hold better value over 5 years than the aero (I don't pile on many miles)
- With lesser payment and time to payoff I am free to buy another toy (3rd car or boat) in a year or 2
Cons:
- Private party sale I am going to lose probably $3K on my aero given my payoff (i am on a 60 month loan, not a lease)
- The aero has been issue free (risk with changing)
- Long term Viggen parts maybe more costly, especially out of warranty
- I would likely miss the aero's handling, but thats about all
SO...Questions:
1) What would you do?
2) How many have high mileage Viggens out there and how reliable are they past 50K?
