So, the cat's out of the bag over in the PML. Due to the cluster in PR known as the economic situation, I am likely moving back to Orlando in the summer. I won't be shipping my cars to FL, since cars in Puerto Rico tend to be worth more due to the higher cost of new cars/import duties in PR.
I am considering new, used (only CPO and used with an awesome carmax warranty), since this will be my only car (as opposed to now where I have two cars). This also won't be until late summer - so who knows what I'll want by then.
So the basics:
Here's what I drive:
Car 1: 2013 VW Passat, TDI manual transmission. Daily driver - replaced the 17's with 16's due to effed up roads in Puerto Rico (and not wanting to $35K new in PR - paid $29k, still worth about $19k.
Car 2: 2012 VW Jetta GLI Autobahn Edition. Upgraded the ECU, otherwise stock. This is a weekend car only - too uncomfortable to drive daily. Or I lend it to my brother in law if he's in town. $45K new in PR - paid $23k used, still worth the same $23k.
Those are the cars I drive. And both owe money, so I won't walk out of this with $42k to buy a car.
I'm looking at a CPO'd post-facelife VW CC, to split the difference between the Passat and the GLI. Conversely, I could also go for a 3 series or an A4. If I feel really crazy, well... fun cars that handle well, and could be an only car - since I with paying for the cost of moving, I don't want to get two cars for now.
