you people have it easy when it comes to buying cars

why did you downgrade from a 535

What's with all these cars having headlights and taillights that wrap around the side of the car?

$60k is honestly reasonable for a Maloo in the US, especially considering it'll only ever increase in value.

I've thought about trying to import a VL, too, but I like V8s and don't wanna ruin one. I'd be better off just fucking around with a fox platform LTD.

Ah cool, an excuse to talk about my car.

Getting one with the same setup would've cost me close to twice as much

OP here
I'm in Germany. The Fusion is called Mondeo around here. Germans (or europeans in General) like thier wagons so its available here.
Ford calls these Turnier.
Its a Ford Mondeo MK5 Turnier to be exact.
Another cool thing that sadly isnt available in the states are the Dynamic LED Front Lights.
With daytime running lights turned on the car looks pretty cool imo.

Also they do everything automatically depending on traffic, speed and weather conditions.

There is only one (1) W8 in my country. Both the W8 and the B5 S4 would be prohibitively expensive to maintain and operate since i commute like 40 miles to and from work every day. Also, i just came from a B5 VW Passat and wanted to try something new and i'm a closet Alfisti.

looking into snagging a 2017 fusion titanium here soon ish. digging the headlights. you said the 130hp engine option is too low? i was planning on getting the 2.0L turbocharged ecoboost which pushes like 280 if im remembering correctly, so that should fix that.

They're actually surprisingly attainable. Whenever I take mine to shows people seem to think it's a 30,000 dollar car when it cost me less than half of that. If you give it time and stalk craigslist you can get a really nice one for under 15k. I admit I've seen lower mileage cars as clean as mine but for less than I paid for mine.

Hell there's one for $2000 for sale in LA right now that needs a lot of work that I want to save.
