Seems every time I find a car I like, then do the online Build A Car, it always ends up around $35-40 grand.

Subaru's are not the cheapest, but are a good quality vehicle. Once you add all the bells and whistles to a car in the same category no matter which manufacturer they all end up to be the same price, give or take a couple thousand.
FWIW, I thought our baseline AWD Rav4 (4cyl) was a pretty good deal for what it comes with, it was under $30,000(even less down there). I know it isn't exactly what you would be looking for, but once you start adding the little extra's the price climbed up pretty quickly. |

Your right. I'd gots expensive tastes. Somehow a cheap car isn't going to satisfy me.

I made 3 times more money trading stocks in the month of January, than what my company paid me for the month. Cool, huh?
At this rate, I should have about 6 million by the end of the year. Maybe I'll put off buying that car for a few to put compounding into action. I might be able to retire quicker than I thought. Did you know that you can double your money every 2 months by making 2 percent every working day? The stocks I trade move up and down about 5 to 30% at a time. Have to catch a portion of those upward moves with a fraction of the account every day to make that happen. Edited by CatBrat (02/02/13 12:48 AM)

I thought all Subaru's were AWD |

They are now, but back in their early days they offered FW and AW drive.

Actually, they're not again. They've got that FWD sports car that they built with Toyota.
