So, about a week ago I get a panicked call from my wife. She was just in an accident, a lady blew thru a red light and plowed into my wife broadside. Luckily the lady hit the front end, had my wife been about 6 ft further into the intersection the lady would have hit my wife and car at the drivers side door. Thankfully, other than some aches, bruises and a concussion my wife is otherwise ok. I am amazed at just how much a concussion can mess with you, its pretty scary! The car (an '08 G6) is totaled.
So, now that things have calmed down and gotten back to normal a bit we have been half heart heartedly looking at cars. I CANNOT believe how expensive used cars have gotten! I was hoping to pick up something low miles for under $ 10k. That looks like it will be more of a challenge than I thought.
I did find a nice Buick Le Sabre, but my wife says it's an old lady car. We also looked at Hyundais and a few Kias. We are thinking mid to full size sedan.
Any thoughts guys? Any experience with Hyundais? The reviews I have read are mixed...so I don't know. Kia's seem pretty popular right now, but again they seem expensive.
Thanks!
