Default I like your choices. I was looking at the mazda3 hatcthback, I love the look of the magnum Hemi,also

looked at the G8 although it may be out of my price range. As for another Audi rith now out of the question. I am staying away from German cars for now : ( My wife feels they are too expensive to maintain. I have to live with her and she does our budget.
Please continue to advise me on what to get.

Default They both tend to have very high resale values... you will be hard pressed to find an 08 for less

than 16k, unless it has exceptionally high miles for a 1yr old car and/or is the base 4cyl model (which is slow)

I am not dissing either of them, but I'd rather get an 07 or 06 with low miles, loaded and a V6

The mazda3 hatch is one of my favorite small cars, but you will find it cramped for baby + stuff

Default Several thoughts...

...I feel that having that maintenance item just done is a plus for a buyer. The issue I see, is that it WON'T raise the resale value of the car.

It will only be the selling point which might sway a potential buyer towards buying yours versus any other same year 4.2 for sale.

As mentioned before, the color Green does limit your potential buyer market.

A quick look at Edmunds for a Private Party sale lists your car at $7,900. Remember, that the pricing is just a guide, and not a guarantee that's what your car will sell for.

Default WRX and Legacy GT kinda defeats the purpose as autos... maybe the Legacy 2.5i Limited with

the nicer interior

Default I looked at the mazda3 for quite a while then I thought it would not be quick enough for me.I like

the style of it and it has gotten good reviews. I may continue to look at that car.
The wife has the murano so I don't really need a big car and with the hatch I think there will be plenty of room.
