Auto Erotica
We went car shopping today and, God help me, I think I'm in love.
That's not a stock photo, it's the actual car that we're looking at - a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Turbo, with less than 37,500 miles on it. That color is called Electric Blue.
Here are a few reviews of this model:
And, would you believe, it's actually in our price range!
Of all the dealerships we visited today, it was one of maybe three cars that fit our no-compromise criteria (4-door, hatchback or wagon, 5 passenger) and was also in our price range.
We would have like to have found something a bit lower in that range, but didn't really expect to.
We might still be able to, at the place where we bought our two current cars (we didn't make it there today), but none as cool as this, I'm sure, or with mileage this low.
Even $1000 - $2000 less only translates to a $10 or $20 per paycheck savings on the payment and, hell, we can piss away that much in a couple of weeks, and never even notice it.
Of course, we'd rather that my Escort had hung in there for a few more months - or years - but given that we we have to get something, I think we're leaning pretty strongly toward this one.
The dealership is closed until Monday, so we've got time to discuss it some more, but I suspect the decision has been made.
Very sharp. I had a PT Cruiser as a rental once and it was a cool vehicle.
