4 Vehicles that MAY Qualify for YOU by Walt E. Ingalls

    What means the most to you when buying a new car? Is it beating the daily hassle of boring traffic? Is it having a head turner to open the dialogue box of your next elevator pitch? Is it savings and fuel economy? Is it having a suitable fit for the excitement of your back-roads? 

 

   See, these are all points that you should first be making when setting out for and settling into your next car. 

 

   You could spend hours each day reading the latest about what car Road & Track chooses for you, or you could fill your weekends with test-drives and showroom visits. How ever you chose to tune your auto-knowledge, know one thing—what you choose you’ll likely be spending every day with, so try and make a decision that is certain and definitive, before making the payment arrangements. 

 

   Let’s go in deeper--into this search, and begin comparing rides. Let’s begin with what you are foreseeing in the next 4 years of your immediate future. 

 

   Perhaps you are a Student making your decision between the work-force and Graduate studies. Naturally, you’re in a relationship and you’ve begun to think they may be the one for you. The job you’ve got currently and voluntarily takes its place, second to your studies. Your savings account somehow continues to grow, increasing little by little. AND you’re still YOUNG! 

 

   You’ve managed to enforce some of those good behaviors that your parents insisted upon from the very first day you could tie your own shoes. You could decide by the end of the year, either on 2 years to your Bachelor, or 4 ‘till your first Masters. 

 

   You’re active and by that I mean, you’ve plans to bike the entire left-coast. You are a daily supporter of the donation-based Yoga at your local activity center. 

 

   You like beach weekends in the summer and your guy already has a 2-door cabrio, which he has offered to you every single 3-day weekend since you started dating Freshmen year. 

 

   What means the most to you isn’t being seen, it is; however, staying in the groove with everything that’s important to you.  

 

   You’re not quite settled on a mini-van; they still make you think Aunt Ruth and 5 soccer playing brats on the east end of town. You are content with an SUV; however, the size and fuel uses keep whispering obscenities out your back window, looking down into every messy back-seat and foot-locker you drive by on any given Monday, which at the same time, makes you think of how nice it must be to have a high-sitting SUV. 

 

    You just haven’t decided between a sporty Audi wagon (or what the Germans call an ‘Avant’) or a serious adult passenger carrier like the Q5 that pulls ranks on every freeway. 

 

   Maybe, just maybe, you’re deicing on an Auto Maker first, like are you swept away in the competition of BMW? Do you see everything you stand for in a Porsche? Are you ready for the Zero-interest a Volkswagen can provide on any given day? Do you want to boast your decision-making skills with an Audi? 

 

   See how one need can break down to three-hundred and fifty specific and necessary questions. 

 

   Here are the options I recommend first: 

 

A) Parking is made simple, the gas gods favor you in any case and you fit-in to any and every cluster of cars, both in status and in stature—You are an Audi A3 Avant 

 

B) You feel the security of being big enough to get everyone’s attention; people want to stay out of your way, you can fit all your toys inside, and as for, what-ever you want to bring home from your next family reunion, you can just tow—You are a Volkswagen Touareg 

 

C) You don’t mind being the next smallest, you want to out perform everything larger than you and fit in to even the tightest spaces, and you’ve already accomplished what you’ve set out for, you are a Porsche Macan. 

 

D) Your first impression for everything is, “I’m working it out first”. You could care less about putting it on the bill and justifying your spending later, that’s why you have to come to terms with every major move before it happens. You’ve bought stock in “wise before smart” and therefore you’re perfectly you—a Volkswagen Passat.
