So as you guys know, I've been living in Chicago recently. I'd really never had the pleasure of driving around in the city, and so I kinda got used to the harangue of having to take the CTA everywhere. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, it just makes it a bit more of a hassle to go anywhere. This sorta changed when I borrowed my cousin's car this last weekend. It was such a great thing to be able to go where I wanted when I wanted. While bored at work today, I started browsing the classifieds on cars.com and realized that I could probably pick up a nice set of wheels in a few months. I have some cash socked away from a summer job a year back which I tried not to touch, and I just got my hours increased by my boss. I'll probably take out a loan to cover the balance here. I'm looking for something that's got four or all-wheel drive, a little bit of power and perhaps catastrophic first-owner depreciation. I've been taking a peek at a couple of late 90s/early 2000s Audi A4s, as well as some swedish and japanese cars. I don't want to spend anything more than $7000, as that's really all I could reasonably afford by the end of the year. Suggestions?
