seriouisly, its a cirrus, IIRC were lousy cars -- nm - zeitgeist May 6, 20:41
I very much want this Jeep - but I don't know if it can fit a car seat in the back. -- (link) - Beryllium May 6, 19:48 [youtube] 11
- Yep, having ridden in a Wrangler, that could be a problem. Also with the back seat in there's not much room for anything else. - MojaveMeg May 6, 20:05 3
  - This'll be for my commute and occasional kieran pickups - as long as it can safely fit the car seat, that's all it needs -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 20:06 2
    - They also get horrendous gas mileage. Like, atrociously bad. - spamlet (iPhone) May 7, 04:39
    - heh, sweet, this forum post says a chrysler dealership can outfit the seat with a tether for a forward-facing seat -- (link) - Beryllium May 6, 20:15
- I should just talk to the dealership and try fitting the current car seat in it -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 19:52 6
  - Seems like it's priced a bit high. Wonder if you could talk them down at least $500. I was thinking $5K before they flashed the price - flavorize May 6, 20:07 5
    - on the site it says 216K, which is higher than I'd want. And it says nothing about a hard top, which is important in our climate. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 20:09 4
      - over 200k? even in kilometers that's too much. you're not looking for a disposable? - zeitgeist May 6, 20:50 1
        
        I'm looking for a cheap, fun, daily commuter for ~15km a day - second car, so reliability is not 100% necessary. And I have BCAA. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 20:54
      - Yep. A hard top would run you another $800-$1,000. -- nm - flavorize May 6, 20:16 1
        
        Exactly what I was thinking - good thing about that colour though, is that all three common hard top colours work with it (grey, tan, and black) -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 20:17
Pretty decent, for a 12 year-old car. My guess electrical issues, and maybe starter issues -- nm - flavorize May 6, 19:47 1
- Having owned a dodge of that vintage, I'm familiar with needing a new alternator ... never had the starter go, though -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 19:49
It's 12 years old? And it's *burgundy* not purple :) -- nm - MojaveMeg May 6, 19:47
