I've been growing tired of driving the truck, as expected. Now that the dust has began to settle from buying a truck, trailer, and building the E36, I have been daydreaming of buying something fun to drive every day again.
I decided that I'm too old to spend all of my money on broken cars and not have a safety net for when things go south, so I knew in my heart that paying cash for something cheap wasn't going to work. Where does that leave me? Save up for another year or so where i could buy something and not cripple my bank account, or be an idiot and finance something with very little down.
I'm sure it's obvious what I did. I'm not going to lie and say this particular car wasn't an impulse decision. I wasn't considering STs this time around, but I realized how cheap they were this morning. I found one locally for a good price and jumped on it.
What did i get? A 2015 Fiesta ST in some kind of blue color. 71,000 miles and seemingly good condition. Clean carfax with some decent maintenance and no recalls.
No, i didn't spring for the wheel and tire protection.
It'll be a great DD, dog hauler, people mover, pace car, autocrosser, fun haver.
