[quote blusubaru]So which will you keep?
That is a good question, I have a couple of cars in the stable and the wife says one has to go. I am pretty good at buying cars but not so good at selling them. The 07 Avy is a work car - so it stays.
I still have my first new car ever purchased. It is an 84 Mustang GT Convertible. It stickered at $16,105.00 I bought it new in high school! I am currently keeping it at my folks house out in Palm Desert, CA. This looks like the possible casualty in acquisition of the new smart. I have a 95 Impala SS that is set up for autocrossing, yes autocrossing. It is a real head turner at SCCA events. While not as capable as the Miatas, Golfs, and Mustangs it holds its own surprisingly well. I have a lot of history with this car, so I may ship it out to CA to rest in a nice dry & warm climate.
Yes, there are other cars that are bigger, smaller, faster, and more MPG. I like cars with a little personality to them and the Smart appears to fit the bill pretty well.
I may also drive it for a month and then sell it. It looks like supply and demand may not be matching up too well, and with my early reservation this could be one of the very first in the area.
