Your First/Current Car
« on: October 04, 2008, 11:12:33 pm »
A little bit off the subject of games, but I thought this would be an interesting thread seeing as I just bought my first car.



My car:
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS


So post up!

My first car..   wow long time ago there...

1980 Ford F100 Step-side   3 on the tree, w/ a wood bed. Wish i had a pic of it i loved that truck

Now I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 and I absolutely hate it. biggest POS ive ever owned. I will NEVER own another Pontiac again. If it wasnt for it loosing over 1/2 its value id, of traded it in already.

Are you kidding? How is it a bad car? It looks pretty nice. I would buy it, but I am flat broke.

3100 for my eclipse was a steal.






Its a slick car. The images make it look like a faded red, they don't do it justice.

No its a slick car i love the look and feel of the inside and out.  But it only has 38k miles on it, and already the CV joint is going out. And the trade-in value is only 8,000 bucks.  but yet i owe 15k on it.  I bought it with all the options bells and whistles and got it for a steal at 25k.   

Basically the 3 reasons i hate it boils down to this

1. Pontiac resale value is HORRIBLE compared to other makes. (my fault for not researching it more)
2. CV Joint is going out, and the breaks didnt even make it 20k before i had to replace them (no covered under warranty)
3. the MPG are no where near what the EPA sticker says. I get 20 to 23 in town if that.  When the sticker says 28 to 30 town and 34 highway.  I get maybe 29 highway which is ok considering i dont drive the speed limit on the highway.

anywhoo lessoned learned. Should of stuck with my 2005 Silverado that i traded in to get the car.

Ah. I see. Pontiac's resale value looks low, but they make flipping amazing looking cars.

Especially the 09 G8


I saw that car and fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
