Possibly sad news...
Well it looks like the bonny is going to be leaving me soon...
Its just costing me alot more money to keep everything running then it should be and I can tell that this car wouldn't be lasting me through college without putting more heavy amounts of cash into it to keep it moving..
So it will be getting replaced by a 06 Hyundai Sonata ( maybe 08, w.e dealership wins me over first lol )
The price there asking is great with only 17k on it...can't beat it.
BUT I might still keep the bonny if there going give me crap on a trade in, and if thats the case the bonny will be my long distance traveling car..
I'm kinda hoping to keep the bonny with the Sonata but I have no idea how everything is going to go
I'll let everyone know how it goes tomarrow at the dealership..

Hows this bad news? The Hyundai will be a great improvement over that old Bonneville especially the gas mileage. Well maybe not an upgrade but still a nice car.

Wow, that is bad news IMO. Hyundais are not a quality car. What exactly is wrong with your Bonneville? There aren't many things that go wrong with our cars. Plus they get 30mpg on the highway.

You could've said that 10 years ago, but Hyundai has sepped up their game now. A Camry or Accord would be a more expensive but necessarily better choice...

If you buy used, make sure that 10 yr warranty is transferable 
Yeah, those Sonatas are OK cars. A little boring for me, but that'* ok 
. If you can, you might want to wait until they release the '09 model. It has a better interior with more amenities...
