Thread Hijack: Malibu got rear-ended the other day, bumper replacement cost was 2 grand..jeebus..i thought plastic cars were cheaper than this. So anyway, its at the body shop getting repaired, but im about ready to say fuckall with that car. 120k miles, and i just had to put wheel bearings in it..probably the first maintenance thing of many and it is pissing me off. So I'm going to trade it in as soon as it is fixed.
This car catches my eye:

According to motortrend and others, 2006 was when these came into their own..anyone agree with that? What other suggestions you got? I'm thinking less than 25k. I dont really want to buy new, because im done taking the appreciation hit on stuff. I'd rather avoid paying off my current car, so I'm going to trade it in. As such, my next car does have to come off a dealer lot.
