On the one hand, I could throw a little money at the 190+K miler 9-5 Aero that she is currently driving to appease any gremlins and she would probably be good for the first year with her older brother (a senior) on the same campus as backup.
But, I'd love to give her a nice high school grad gift as well.
There are some early model 9-3SSs around town but I'm leery of them compared to the 9-5s for some reason. Also, they seem to depreciate less than 9-5s and I say that like it's a bad thing!
Cateras would be a great value if they weren't so electrically cursed. Jeep Compass is too new and well above $10K. Maybe a Liberty, Mariner... what do you all say? Thanks.
Oh, I just saw a really clean 9-2 on Craigs, but it was 80K miles and asking $7500. Can that car be serviced by a Subaru dealer?
