sell 4 old cars=bmw 330ci or honda maybe hybrid?
My dad has agreed to sell (all bought used):
BMW 1990 535i (mine)
BMW 1992 735iL
Benz 1983? 300SD
Benz 1985? Station wagon
I think that the 4 cars will make no more than $10,000 total. I think I can get my dad to chip in a couple extra thousands but my max budget for a new car is $12,000
The 535 is in okay condition, but it's been giving me lots of problems recently (and yes, I know that BMW's do that a lot and get costly to maintain) and has 15 MPG!!
In return (according to my dad):
New off the lot Honda (preferably a Hybrid)
Used Honda station wagon (for transporting stuff and airport visits)
In return (according to me...:)):
Used BMW 2001-2003 330ci
Which new car choice should I make?
1. I absolutely love bimmers (my dad has accepted fault for this personality disorder)
2. newer bimmers should have better mileage than my old one...
3. I don't want any ugly Honda Hybrids
4. I really want a 330ci...
5. I do have access to a station wagon (my boyfriend has an old Toyota Cressida wagon)
6. I have a new found appreciation for cars so I have the drive to maintain cars now!
What do you guys think?
