1. You sux
LOL, I wanted to trade my truck, but it's too old.
..man, i wanted that 4500 bad!!!!
2. The TDi holds it value very well.
3. Most people hate them or love them, but the Chevy HHR are pretty nice little vans. They go as low as 16000 new. And they get good gas mileage to be so roomy.
4. the KIA soul is a nice little car.
I would suggest driving the HHR, the Honda and the Kia soul.
Don't drive a VW, you will end up buying it once you feel all that mad torque...LOL
