Yeah, that really is one hell of a beater.

My beater is a 89 Celica ST automatic, with rust spots, an accident caused major dent on the passenger side and a trunk that opens from the wrong side.:blackeye:

I went a similar route last year. American near lux cars hold value like a screen door on a submarine holds water. I went with FWD V8 lux though. 29K miles when I got it, only $12.5K out the door.

Nice Aurora! But you got rid of an '04 G35 for it?

Yep - would have preferred to keep the G35, but it's just a car. We upsized our house payments so I wanted to get out of having car payments.

I just traded our 2000 black LS V8 on an '03 Navigator Ultimate. I loved to drive the LS. It has crazy power from highway speeds. Ours was o.k. in the snow, I live in SW Ohio, so probably the same as IN. Last winter we got hit with some snow and the rear tires were getting pretty worn, and it wouldn't pull itself of a snow covered street. Keep decent tread on the tires and it is o.k. The cabin air filters are pricey but they do collect abunch of crap. I had to replace the driver's side widow regulator, to the tune of $450.00. The 17" tires on the sport model are pricey,as they aren't a real popular size. I owned ours for about 4 years and it was an awesome car. The main reasons for trade we 4x4 luxury for wife and kid,and the LS was getting near 100K miles.
Nice choice on a daily driver, turn off the traction control and it's a mustang with heated seats!

Yeah I actually found that the day I said that! I guess I was thinking back to when I was just dreaming of buying an LS, and the places I saw the LSE kit, wanted $750 for the front bumper alone! Now I can get the entire kit for that!

You are now officially an old man . Nice new ride tho and it better have some nice deep dish dubs by next spring. I like the colour, must be because it's a rare colour (at least here in Canada it is).

Thats NOT an old mans car and I'm sure its going to get hooked up, but when are the snow tires going on it and are you ready for RWD and snow

Yep, the LS already got hooked up! With a new cabin filter. :laugh: I'm not too worried about snow tires. There are only about 5-10 days in the winter where the snow is relatively thick to drive through, and the snow plows haven't cleared the roads. My driveway, to my work parking lot, is 2 miles away. On bad snow days, I don't want to be going anywhere, regardless of the tires on my car. Besides, these tires have quite a bit of treadlife.
