Default my mom may take the monte

my mom might sell her van and buy my monte, in the case that this happens, i will get about 4grand to play with. less then id sell it for but its to my mom, i would them more then likely sell my quad and hopefully get 2500-2900 out of it. this makes me probably around 6500-6900 of play room. them my brother gives me 1275 that he owes me knocking it up to about 7775-8175.
i dont know if i should just buy a newer car with this, do a lease, or take out a loan. if i took out a loan i would be going for a car probably around 11-12k and keeping the 8k for payments as long as i could untill i run out and pay it montly by myself. does this sound reasonable?
and what kindov car should i look for, general motors mostly
i like the 07/08 monte but im iffy
i also like the newer impalas but i want good options
and love the g6's but people have told me they break alot when they get higher mileage.
i would want something with pretty low mileage as i would hope to keep the car for a long time. what should i be looking for?

Personal observation.
G6 owners are a$$es. At least those in Ohio.

I really like the looks of the '09/10 Malibu. They have a nice appearence to them.

But so do the Impalas.

You really can not go wrong with a new Dodge Challenger.

That's a good and detailed list Enzo - except I threw up when I read BMW M3. If lucian*91 was thinking that, I'd suggest he just give me the 12grand, I'll kick him in the ***** and we'll call it even!

Seriously though... MonteCarlo all the way!

Get a used 6th gen with the L67, then mod the sht out of it. Or get somthing with the L67 and, again, mod the sht out of it... Well, thats what I would do anyway.

Hi `Chris,
I hope things work `out 4 U & that you can
get a ride that you will enjoy & can afford.
I've found that it's so much better to own the car that you
buy, instead of the car owning you.

It's no fun having a nice car that you can't afford to
drive or repair when needed.
Keep us updated on your decision.
Good Luck 4-Sure
