teh Caravan is a 98 model, and teh spark pulgs died at 78,000 miles. Chrysler claimed that it wouldn't need a tuneup until 100,000 miles, but we already had 2 done, but mostly, it is plain, unreliable.

I can *agree* (for the sake of staying sane) about it being unreliable. But 78,ooo miles out of your plugs is fairly reasonable. And even so, it's a small expense to replace them. How many miles are on it now? my neighbors have a 96 Voyager that needed none and is in the 150,ooo area.

and we are not shopping around and being picky. I know teh G20 is gone. But we are not shoppign around and being picky, if we are to get a car now, it will be a Taurus. If we want to shop around, then we will try to see if we can squeeze a couple more years out of teh Caravan. We saw that a ford dealer is giving such a good deal on the Taurus, and we figured it would be cheaper than to keep putting money into teh Caravan, sonsidering it seems that it is sucking money out of our pockets liek a vacuum because of all teh parts we are replacing because of drivetrain failure, and we thought that this would be a good deal as we got rental Tauruses and we liked them because they were comfortable and roomy, and they have a proven reliability record, plus we had a good expirance in teh past with teh Taurus we used to own.

That's right. It would be silly to get a better car for the money. What are you paying for it?
*EDIT* $14,000...Not bad, considering it's 'new...' But the Ford dealers need to purge themselves of Taurus' for the Fusion. It's an outdated model, and there's plenty better used cars availible.

did you know that you can buy a good G20 for about 1,000?

read post above your post.

did you know that you can buy a good G20 for about 5,000?

yeah, but teh G20 will be in about 50,000 mile depending on it's age, teh Taurus will have barely any, so it MAY last longer (I inserted teh MAY becasue it infiniti is foregn, and foregin cars last forever)

yeah, but teh G20 will be used, the Taurus will be brand spanking new.

Read the big *EDIT* post script of my above post which was edited a few minutes before you posted the above.

accually, I think that I posted that before or during your editing.

hmmmmm. ford, nissan...ford, nissan...taurus,G20...do me a favor-stop posting for a full minute and picure an infiniti in your drive way-ceritified pre-owned, it has a warranty and standard leather+bells and whistled and lots of fun options

I can't believe I'm even arguing this, but seeing as rarely you accept anybody else's points or opinions, I might as well, but for the record, I had edited my post immeaditely after posting it, upon which I noticed you posted the price.

BTW-Does a new car always outweigh an old one? If you lived in the 1970's and had the option of buying a new Gremlin or used Ford euro Escort, with the Escort being considerably cheaper, you would buy the Gremlin simply because it's new.

got a great idea.


buy a Taurus now as teh family car, and when I turn 16, buy the Infiniti for me.

Because by then you will have money stored away for yet another car.

Seriously now, if you can't buy a more luxurious car now and have to hold on to the Caravan until it kaputs on you, I would be in denial about your first car.

The Infiniti is nice, but we have our heart set on the Taurus. it's a screaming good deal, we are supporting teh amercan economy, plus, trading in teh Lemon will knick off another 3,000 bucks off teh price, so teh Taurus will be the price of a Kia Rio.

but, yes, you're right, if we buy teh Taurus now, we will probilly be able to get me a ncie first car (I am storing away money, plus my parents say that they will help me when teh time comes.)

besides, hey, if my parents get the Taurus, then I can buy the infiniti and have it all to myself

[Esperante]

If you buy the Infiniti you're also supporting the American economy becuase, since it's no longer built, you're buying it from a dealer, not from a factory. But, whatever.
