Hi guys, I definitely miss Colorado but I have to admit Seattle is VERY COOL. Anyway something about Seattle that is very uncool is the traffic. I have had my 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara since January 4th 1998 and it has been a great vehicle but the manual transmission is not working out with the traffic I sometimes get in here. I am looking at getting a used car as I don’t want to take the hit on a new one and I have not had a car payment for 7 years.

So here is what I am looking at, a BMW (325,328,330i), a Volvo S60, a Saab 93, a Audi A4, and a Volkswagen Passat. All of these would be circa 2002-2004. I know quite a few of you are car guys and probably know a whole lot more about them than I do and would definitely appreciate you advise. It obviously does not snow here like it does in Colorado so I am not that concerned about all wheel drive. I have test driven all of these and the BMW and the Volvo are my current favorites but I think I need to give the Audi another chance because the one I drove seemed like it had a very hard previous life.

Anyway I would love to hear/read what you guys have to say.

Take care you guys,
Ken
