Like I said we didn’t do a ton of looking but the ones we saw with lower miles in that good of condidtion and spec were $13,000 to $15,000 used. Not sure if there were lower priced ones with higher miles and in that condition. My Grand Prix was $10,500 with 74,000 miles on it when we bought it at Todd too but in their Hudsonville location. I’m 25 but the car is under my moms insurance.

It's totally worth it if you can find a deal like that. I don't know where it was started, but my family just refers to the dealer as Todd Weasel's. Piggybacking on insurance is definitely the way to go, too. It halved the cost it would have cost my brother, but $3500-$4000 a year was more than he wanted to pay for insurance. It's mostly just a Charger thing, I'm sure. His Impala that he got isn't bad on insurance.

I wanted a titanium fusion with those rims, color is a meh to me but it’s fine because it has auto start, leather seats, and Bluetooth which my Grand Prix didn’t have. I’m happy with it.
 
Sorry if I was a bit of an 🤬 last night. Yesterday wasn't a good day and that can come out.

Congrats on the new car! Those Fusions really looks great, and I really like the ambient lighting Ford has going on in their newer models.
 
Finally decided on a set of wheels and got them put on Saturday!

^ Nice. A friend's thinking about picking up an RS (he's got a Focus Titanium right now, and an otherwise long history of Fords), and I'm trying to convince him to skip the head-aches (all the puns) and just get an STi. He's driven a 2015-or-so model several times and does enjoy it.



But we finally get some real snow in the city!!!

 
After finally getting a job (I unfortunately lost my last job a couple months ago and haven't been able to find work until recently), I knew I need to get snow tires to have a safer commute. Got a good deal through a friend who works at a different dealership to the one I just started at. Unfortunately with conflicting schedules, I knew I couldn't pick it up myself in time or have it shipped. So I had my brother pick it up and find a place to install them. Of course...after the tires were mounted, the front left brake locked up before it could get an alignment....

Got some new headlamps for my car, although my joy is short-lived. My mechanic tells me that I have a few issues with oil leaks and the powersteering pump failing, and that it's probably too much money than it's actually worth. His best suggestion was to drive the car until it just gives out. Really don't want to have to get a third car.

It’s been some time since posting last, here are a few pics of my current car ‘15 Subaru WRX with the cvt transmission.

I did not know those had cvt's.
How do you like it?
For the 2015’s and up they brought back the auto to the WRX, so far I love it and it’s a lot of fun. Only had 2 issues but were covered under warranty, had to replace the rear window due the defroster grid was broken and just recently a torque converter seal. The auto WRX has 3 drive modes intelligent, Sport, Sport#, plus it has paddle shifters which I added extensions to make it easier to shift. If you go on YouTube there are a few cvt reviews which can explain better than I can, the only downside to the cvt is if you are going to mod it. I’ve read on other forums it’s not safe to go beyond stage 1.
 
Rude, it may be, but nonetheless it's 100% accurate.

How do you know? You've seen it on the streets? Just because the car's clean in a photo doesn't mean it never leaves the road. I'd hazard a guess from the "it sure goes neat places" that it's probably been off-road since that photo, as it looks new there.
