Why thank you satificer. i agree that zipcar is actually a great service for large cities and has worked for me a lot this past year. I wouldn’t purchase a car until I could pay for it with cash and have some wiggle room. I would be parking it on the street, insuring it in Brooklyn. Not sure of taxes and registration around here.
To MG McAnick - The world of crown vics and town cars is pretty amazing. People are listing them for 2k with 300k miles here in Brooklyn! The ads all point to buyers who will use the cars to make money. I have always wanted a crown vic or interceptor.
I appreciate the discussion and I’m glad that fellow car people out there agree. Since this is gonna be a budget car in a harsh environment, it’s gonna be ex police car or caravan. Picking one up outside the rustbelt is an adventure in it’s own right, so I will do that first. Excited for summer.
