1997 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
My last car was also my first car and is my current car. A 1989 Honda Accord LX-i coupe, black, 5-speed. I bought it 4 years ago with 200,000 miles, and I've put another 144,000 on it since then. That little ****box has taken me to New York, California, Illinois, Canada, Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and everywhere in between. The A/C still blows cold on it's original factory charge.
Needless to say I have a soft spot for Hondas. I'll be buying another car in a few months, and I have a whole list of cars I'm considering.
-Used 500SL (129)
-Used 500SEL (140)
-New C230 Coupe
-New Nissan Frontier (supercharged)
-Used Acura 3.2CL Type S
-New Acura RS-X Type S
-Used Honda Accord EX V6 coupe
-Used '98 CLK320 coupe
-Used Lexus SC400
-'97 or newer Lexus ES300
-New Toyota Celica GT-S
-Used '98 or newer Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible (juvenile, I know, but I like em)

A C240 is out of my price range. I want to spend about $25,000. Plus why buy a C240 when a C230 is cheaper, more powerful, and sportier? AND the C230 has the 111 engine, which I love for it's durability.

It's just that IMO, the C sedan looks so much nicer than the C coupe. I wish they would just have offered the M111 2.3L Kompressor engine in the C sedan too, instead of the 2.6L V-6.

LAst car was a 1995 BMW 318i.. 4 sp auto.
Yeah, it was pretty anemic, but it was a much livelier car =(
Actually miss the way it handled. Obviously, the C240 is much smoother and faster and more luxurious.
Traded the BMW in for Cdn$16,000. It only had 45,000 kms (if I remember correctly.) last Oct. Used a 2000 Windstar til I took delivery of the C240 in January 2001.

C32 AMG, Volvo S80T6
still have last cars
Still have 91 VolvoSE and a 99 VolvoT6
Great cars to drive on long trips. Both very comfortable and great on gas. I actually get about 650 miles on a 21 gal. tank with the 99 which is amazing considering it is close to 270hp. Looking forward to the new C32 I pick up in two weeks. :p

My last car was a 1989 Buick Reatta. Still love the car. Sold it within the family so I will still be able to see and drive it. Dad has a 1991, which I am told will be mine eventually. Whoo Hoo. A C230 and an Reatta.....what more could one ask for!
