Thinking about selling the L

I absolutely hate to do this, but I had to put the L on the Classifieds. I am making a career change that requires me to have a four door vehicle. This sucks, but I cannot afford both. I wish there was a way out, but I thought about every possibility. What do you guys think I should get? I mean NOTHING will ever take the L's spot, but if you absolutey had to sell yours, what would you buy? I can't afford the HD edition, so it'll have to be something around 20k. Let me know what you think.

If I could find one for 20k, I would but there is no way. They are going for about 30k.

The HD's weren't supercharged until 2002, I believe, so keep that in mind. The first versions were just the regular 5.4 Triton.

For the money, I'd just go find a used Supercrew if you insist on a truck.

Don't forget the old 98-00 SVT Contour if you're looking for a quick, little 4-door from the blue oval boys.

You could seek out a really nice SVT Contour and save yourself about $10K out of your budget. I had one and I loved it. The engine sound was IMHO................better than the Lightnings, it handled great, had great brakes, etc. The seats hurt my back...only complaint....

Well, at least sell your mods so you can have a little extra cash. Mods will not add value...

for 20k, u can probably find a WRX, they are good quick cars. I doubt u can find a used STi for that price anytime soon. Or what about a Prius, that will a little bit of all that gas the L burned, hehe.

I was thinking about the WRX or the SVT Contour, but I need something with a little more room. Are there any other ones out there? Wasn't there a SC Oldsmobile???
