it for unexpected events. Your education will not depreciate on Degree like a car. In college I biked alot and parking was never a problem. We however did have a car since was married but it stayed parked alot. If transportation is needed by a reliable car that is cheap and no worry over dings. Use Consumer Reports to see which ones thay are. Most likely foreign makes like Toyotas. Consider a Hyundai Elantra in the 2000 - 2003 era. Or the Jeep somebody mentioned but regardless check it out well before buying. A lot of Z32's are wallet busters especially with the turbos, injectors, trannies, sensors, ..., problem is unless you owned it from new you will never really know what it went thru. And you would need to find a #1 Z mechanic to check it out as anybody else will not know enough about the Z32 to know what to look for. Even Nissan dealers are poor in this area because most of the mechanics have little to no experience with this car.
