You just converted emt to a true believer! Well done!Hi EMT,
The Elio is dirt cheap for a new car with a warranty. It may not be for you, but you can't cheat Uncle Sam (taxes), or the truck driver that has to deliver it to you. Really, buying a $10,000.00 Camaro or Mustang is no comparison. A sports car worth $10,000 is going to have about 80k-90k miles on it and needs some TLC to get it right. So now your $10,000.00 car has turned into a 13,000.00 car. But wait! It still has 80k-90k miles on it, and something else could crap out on it at any time. Oh, and you still have to pay taxes, title, and tag fees on the used car. The Elio is a pure economy car, and since you're young (you mentioned a 3 year old) it may not be what you're looking for at this stage in your life. Remember, $13.000.00 and a possible money pit, or $10,000.00 with a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty. Yeah, you'll spank an Elio's a$$ from hell to breakfast in a drag race. But we'll wave to you while you're filling up and we're driving by the gas station.
