The Ford mondeo is nice, but will consume a lot of gas, so if you don't wan't that go for the Vectra or the BMW.

What happened to Maseratis? Not to long ago you were thinking about a 3200GT...and now you're looking at old cheaper cars? Whats wrong with the world? hehe seriously though, what's up?

I still gone buy my 3200GT or maybe a Ferrari 456 GT in the summer :) so don’t you worry.
But I need something to drive now I can use my father Alfa longer :)
I think I am gone go for the Volvo 460 I think it is the best car for the money

I might do that:) the dealer have offered me a damn nice price on a Ferrari 456 GT –94 I think he likes me…
But I can put a Ferrari in my carport ;)

Ferrari...Buy...Buy...Buy...hell, you're smart you'll get it.
As for the one's up top, I'd go with the Saab. It's great in bad weather because of FWD, it's built like a damn tank. It has enough cargo room for winter get aways.
I should point out I'm biased towards Saab's since my brother in law's one (doesn't have it anymore) lasted from his junior year in High School to the end of college without as much as a problem. And he drove it alot in all sorts of climates. Plus he's been hit by bigger cars in it and actually did more damage to them rather than his car. So...like I said, I'm a bit biased, plus, they just look cooler.

Malin, get the BMW, but a newer model (E46 or late E36).
If not, get the Saab or the Mondeo.

Malin - take the 3200GT (or a used 4200GT) over the 456. Yes, I realize it's a Ferrari, but it's not worth the troubles. The 456 had tooons of problems. tons. these include: fuel system, popup lights, defogger/defrosters, leaky windows. that thing would have terrible gas mileage too. also, (Atleast in the u.s.) you would have a harder time finding a manual than an automatic. Also, insurance would be insane. I mean...think about it, 26 year old girl driving V12 Ferrari.... In addition, the Maserati is faster to 60mph.
I'm not sure if you all have as horrible deprication on Maseratis as we do, but over here, a decent '02 Coupe will go for $50k-$60k.
But- if you do get the 456, lower it (slightly) and put new wheels on. then it'll be stunning. Oh, and it better be black....

Ahh ckg, you've hit the point in life where people like me need to make up metaphores on the spot to disagree with you.
Wise man say: It is better to work arse of to sleep with supermodel than go for reliable whore.

Hehe ckg690 it can’t be worse then a Maserati Biturbo . So I am quite used to a reliable problem on Italian cars…
BTW here is the Ferrari I have been looking at :)

Well, I'll get back to the topic at hand. The BMW is going to be rock solid, but a little slow. The volvo of course is going to be solid and built like a tank, but eh, boring. So, as alot people said, go for the Saab. My crazy uncle has had one since like, 1992, and it's a great car.

Go for the Saab. One of my friends owns a turbo and he loves it.
