The time has come to replace my Saturn, "Winnifred". There are some things wrong that I don't want to pay to fix. So I'm going to trade her in. I have a little time to look around, but I'm finding that there are many cars out there (duh) and many opinions (duh again!) So here is my wish list:
Bold= Absolutely necessary
Italic= Would be nice, but not necessary
Pre-owned 2005 or newer
$10000 or less (before my trade-in)
4 Door
Manual transmission
Handles well in the snow
Power locks
Power windows
Keyless entry
CD player
Aux. input
AC
less than 100,000 miles (prefer 50,000 to 80,000)
Not a tin can that will be crushed in one accident
I've been looking at VW Jetta, Chevy Cobalt, Ford Focus, Kia Rio, Chevy Aveo. But I have no idea what I really need, so I'm just going to have to go out and test drive some stuff.
So much for that whole BEING DEBT-FREE thing. Oh, well....

VW are expensive to repair or replace anything in them. And not every place will fix or have the parts.
