New Basic car or used "near luxury" car?




NONE


I am considering either a new car or used car. I am considering a new Nissan Altima 2.5S ($19,500) or a 2008 Infiniti G35x fully loaded w/ 88k miles ($16500). If you had to use the car you bought for 5 years (driving about 15k miles- 75k miles over 5 years) which would you do?

After 5 years:

Altima
-5 years old
-75k miles
G35x
-8 years old
-163k miles

Infiniti Pros
-AWD- i live in Pittsburgh, and i will visit family in CT several times a year during college vacations so it will be snowy
-When going home and back from school, it is a 500 miles trip one way. The built in Navigation system will help (without needing my phone's GPS
-Luxurious features- leather, navigation, LED Tail lights, Xenon headlights, alloys
-Already depreciated significantly from new... I can prob still get around $8k when it is 8 yrs old ($8500 depreciation)

Infiniti Cons
-A more expensive car, so it might be a target of vandals
-Premium Fuel needed

Nissan Pros
-New car smell with new car warranty
-Regular fuel needed

Nissan Cons
-"regular" car
-No luxurious features
-ugly hub caps vs alloys
-Not a lot of HP
-FWD
-No built in Navigation
-More Depreciation (i can prob. sell for $9k after 5 yrs)
($10500 deprecation)
I'm not considering Accord or Camry right now... they are nice cars, but my mom has an Accord and dad has a Camry... I just don't like how they drive...

I will pay off the car over 2-3 yrs. I'm not looking at Lexus because i really have my heart set on a Nissan product (Infiniti & Nissan are the same company)



Answer
Quite frankly, the Nissan's pros and cons outweigh the Infiniti's. You can purchase an excellent GPS for $200 or less and even add some "decent" rims a little later. You'll have a factory warranty on the Nissan versus no warranty on the Infinity. You'll also save about 25 cents per gallon on gasoline.

How confusing is it to park at the Pittsburgh International Airport in the extended stay lot?

I tend to get lost easily : )


Answer
hi there,info for you,if you get lost you"ll be able to ask a policeman!! lol,,

Parking at the Pittsburgh International Airport isn't a hassle. A covered garage offers convenient access to the airport and protection for your car from the elements. Large long-term parking lots offer easy access to the airport via covered moving walkways and free luxury shuttle buses. Almost 10,000 available parking spaces make it easy to find a parking spot. The lots and garage are all paved and fully-lighted and offer disabled access. They are equipped with security surveillance cameras and are patrolled by the Allegheny County Police.
