    I think it's commendable when a vehicle can be had with no radio or a/c. But I represent a very small portion of the market, and the question of my sanity is rather subjective.

    To be fair, if you don't mind something offensively ugly, the Elantra's not a bad pick. The Versa and Yaris are basically today's Tercel; not a long-term car, but also not bad.


    If I wasn't in it for the fuel economy (which, if you buy an Aveo, you're clearly not) I'd get a used Taurus. Practically free, and it'll last till 120k or so before needing a transmission, and be fine from then 'till you junk it.

    Pfft... I got that beat. Get this, up here in Canada, they're still selling Chevrolet Uplanders and Pontiac Montanas. Production just ended, but there's lots on the lots.


    You can get an Uplander for $24390, and my local dealer is giving $10,000 off. That leaves you at $14,390, but that's Canadian. It comes to roughly $10,792 in US dollars. And that comes with a 240hp V6, automatic transmission, A/C, power windows and locks... It's CRAZY cheap.


    Plus, you can use $2000 GM points.


    Sure, they're a little bland, but for hauling a family, it's an amazing deal.


    I'm considering picking up my wife a fully loaded Montana for $20,450 or $15,333US. And that's got the good seats, remote start, side bags, power side door, sport suspension with rear air bags, etc... yeah, minivans are boring, but have YOU tried to put a rear facing child seat in the back of a small car? This is all the utility and luxury of a mid size SUV for half the price.

    @top-dead-center: The $7,500 between the BIN and the KBB value is probably due to the grenaded transmission or the oil pan full of piston chunks.

    You could just skip all these cars, go to Cafepress, and buy the recipient an "I have a gigantic wang" t-shirt instead.


    Also, let's not forget that on a cost-per-cubic-foot basis, SUVs are the real bargain right now.

    Main Entry (2): gift

    Function: transitive verb

    Date: circa 1550


    1 : to endow with some power, quality, or attribute

    2 : present


    If it's in the Webster's, it's a fair game. You lose.

    @Landau_Calrissian: I think you misunderstood. When you say cheap new car, it's comparatively cheap, not actually cheap. Take the Accent, for example. It's cheap for a new car, but like what a lot of Jalops are saying, you don't get much for that amount of money. I mean, we're the ones who follow stories on crazy people racing $500 race cars. Hehe.
