I need to buy a car by the end of February. I've made threads like this before, however, this is a compilation of those vehicles that I selected. Choose your favorite, or if you have another suggestion, please post some info on it (pic as well). My limit here is about 12,500 - check Edmunds for prices.

2008 Jeep Patriot (click picture for video)
Benefits:
-Cheaper than Escape. (also great on gas)
-Jeep.
Downfalls:
-Kinda boring.
-CVT.



2008-10 Ford Escape
Benefits:
-More accessorized that Jeep Patriot.
-Great on gas.
Downfalls:
-More expensive (not substantially)



2007 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Benefits: (not going to play cop with this)
-v8 Engine.
-Tons of fun, and VERY cheap parts.
Downfalls:
-Interior is "bare bones".
-People will drive extremely slow around me.





Suggestions are welcome. Any cars that I like will be added to this poll. Please keep this format to make my life easier! This will likely be the last "Car Suggestion" thread.

Don't get a Crown Vic that just makes all other drivers hate you for giving them a mini heart attack.
You don't want to be that guy.

I'd go with the Patriot.

should be a pretty obvious choice of the crown. pretty sure its the cheapest and will probably be best suited for what you will be using it for.


The Crown would be "de-policed" if I bought it. The one I'm looking at is dark blue, has a ram bar, and a spotlight. I would remove the spotlight, the bar, and swap out the pursuit hubs for normal vic hubs. I saw someone driving something like that the other day. I knew it wasn't a cop, and I thought it was really cool.

Get the Crown Victoria and put fake police lights on the top.

you can probably buy a crown pretty cheap used then fix it up for cheaper then the other two options

Another benefit of the crown is my impending job. I'm taking up a job as a dog walker / caretaker. There might be a few instances where I might have to throw a dog (or 3) in the back, which the crown would be the most qualified to do.

You'd go to jail. I would buy window lights and leave them at home. I would only bring them to car shows to make it look cool. Even then, someone else would be transporting them. So if I got pulled over, there is no suspicion that I'm playing cop.

Crown would be the cheapest. A good one with 100k miles would be about 4,000$.

forget anyone with a CV though if you do get one you might as well go all the way and put a bike rack on the roof of the car as well.

You getting a jeep would be hilarious. LOL.

My cousin has the Ford Escape, Same model. For about  4-5 years now. I was in it, I loved it. She also said its great on gas and she loves it too.

Also like the Phone Sync it comes with, Pretty awesome. I vote for the Ford Escape.


escape shouldnt even be an option...not only is it pricey its also a family car. i doubt it gets very good mileage either.

The gas on the Escape is actually pretty good. It has FlexFuel, so it goes a while on a tank of gas.

Ok so
You just recently got your drivers license
And you're looking to buy a car
Why have you been making threads about other people's sucky driving before you've been legally driving?

Everybody hates the guy in the Crown Vic. Don't be that guy.

if i was to buy your crown vic how much would you want?
