Yeah, of course, that would be ideal. But alas, it isn't a perfect world

Really?? Hmmm...do you have full or PL/PD? I will definatly have to have a comparison drawn up. I would really like a GP but I thought it would be significant insurance wise.

I don't like little cars cuz other bigger cars would squish you like a bug. If she just drives locally and the speed limits are low then a small car wouldn't be so bad.

I was originally going to get a Saturn SC2 (don't kill me people)...now THAT is a small car. I will actually be using the car that I purchase as a highway car because I will be traveling a lot going from school and back. I figure if I stay as big as a GA or Alero, I should be okay.

I have full coverage and I use AAA insurance. I guess you would just have to give your insurance company a call and get a quote.

Great! I'll keep that in mind and check around.

Keep the bonnie for college. I got mine for the room over the GA and GP.

But a GP would be my recomendation. Honestly i wouldn't go smaller if you're moving from home to school a lot.

I've already had a ton of stuff packed in the GP for school. I can fit quite a bit. It has SLIGHTLY less room than a Bonneville. The trunk is pretty big.

Well i guess the only GP'* i was able to afford woulda been 96 or older.

Why do you need a "newer" car? It'* college, you're gonna want all the money you can get!!

Ummm...good question. Honestly, I don't have a good answer. I just want something that isn't ten years old, and since I can afford something (well, college considered, maybe I really can't) I want to see what I can find. (That isn't meant as bratty as it sounds).

Oh there'* nothing wrong with wanting a new car. There are a lot of good choices out there too. For a small econobox the Mazda 3 is damn near perfect, heck it'* even got good performance, and all the features of mazda'* bigger cars, but in a small package. Getting a 200-250/mo payment is doable i bet. If i had the money i'd just save up for some sort of future housing down payment, or invest it.

Besides, we all know the best cars were built before '73
