My car was totalled. (parked in front of house) So I get hand me down and she gets newer vehicle.
She has a birthday next month and graduates from a year long accelerated BSN program in early May.
Our budget tops around 18,000 until she gets employed and some loans paid back.
She deserves something with panache, she wants cute. However, ANYthing that has trouble in winter driving will cause more trouble than I want to endure. Better to head off trouble before it begins. FWD or AWD seems to be my answer.
I'm thinking BMW 330xi or similiar or upgrade to MB 4matic? Would this be reasonable? Any other ideas?
She will not drive the car for sport (agressive), just wants some style to her ride.
I am not familiar with maintenance on these cars, so, what am I looking at realistically? Anyone got an answer or point me toward someone/somewhare that does.
