I'd either go with the Maxima or the 350Z, it all depends how long it takes before you do the baby seat mod.

Have you considered the Audi A6 or the Volvo S80? These are both excellent cars that can be had for a reasonable price. A buddy of mine just bought a used S80 T6 with 38000 miles on it for $21,000.00. I think it is a 2001. That thing has a twin turbo charged 6 in it that makes 268 HP and is a real sleeper.

To really get a "feel" for what car your G/F would look best in, we REALLY need a picture of her!

yes i know, but it is the house her mom grew up in and the house were her great aunt lived in untill she moved into a "home".

when her mom died, she gave kelli the house, and now there is a dispute with her uncle about the grandmoms estate...its a long story...the short version is, they HAVE to sell the house so the estate will be completed. her uncle could buy her out but he doesnt have the money, and kelli just wants to be done with everything. thanks for looking out

You live in PA, get the Maxima because it is front wheel drive. Just make sure you can park it because it has by far the largest turning circle in its class. it's like 42 feet.

Your comment was correct. Most of all the "Jap" cars are made in America by Americans with mostly American manufactured parts. However the money goes to Japan. You can go to the dealer and read the cars "Content" pecentage. Manufacturers play with content percentages for tax reasons. If I am not mistaken a crown vic is considered a foreign.

Consumer Reports rates the Passat over the Maxima. The passat is a great car. So is the Audi equvilant. Another good car for value and what you get for the money believe it or not is the Impala. The Cadilac CTS is also pretty sweet.

M3 M3 M3 M3 M3!!!!!! (My favorite car in the world!!)
