I have a 2012 Buick Regal with 33,000 miles I bought about 3 months ago. It's a great car but I live in Chicago and realize that it's stressful keeping it nice and in general the use of it and damage. I went on a road trip with it and small debris hit the window causing all kinds of nicks so I had it replaced. It was driving me nuts.
I have about 16,000 left on the loan, I could possibly pay it off, then sell it to a dealer and whatever I get, I could get a used car. What I originally wanted to get is a Mercury Grand Marquis or a Ford Crown Victoria.
Has anyone done this? Is it worth it financially? I understand a used older car is not reliable but I feel maintenance on a Grand Marquis or Vic would still be cheaper in the long run. My job is 10 minute drive away so I am not worried about gas.
I used to have a Dodge Neon that was beat to shit and I could go to bed without worrying what could possibly happen. It was a piece of shit but it worked til the engine died.
