Next car will have a SUNROOF or CONVERTIBLE!!! Never had either and been driving for 17 years. Always thought it looked fun to have no roof.

MUST HAVES:
-Power windows
-Cruise Control
-Keyless Entry
-Fold down back seat
-One touch auto window
-Tilt wheel
-Tinted windows

Never had leather but love how you slide in and out so easy. Next car will have leather.

My Must Have list aside from an automatic transmission:

  1. Cruise Control, I use it alot
  2. Climate control set it and never have to touch it again, that's comfort!
  3. Keyless entry - Power locks - Power windows, usually come in a pack together
  4. Audio control on steering wheel usually comes in a pack together with
  5. Radio-CD/IPOD integration
  6. ABS anti-lock brakes

Since I buy on opportunity, about all I insist on are:

Rust-free body
4 wheels
Robust build quality (older Toyota, Honda, VW, BMW, pre-74 Detroit Iron, etc.) Or sufficiently interesting/entertaining that I can forgive some build quality issues (MG, Triumph, etc.)

*Probably* something fully depreciated or nearly so, there are so many excellent older rigs out there that I can own without losing money on depreciation, that I am a very hard sell for a late model - but if the right opportunity came along, it's not impossible that I would buy something newer.

Enough power to get out of it's own way, I want a good compromise between BHP and MPG - slow but thirsty rigs like the old 80's Ford Escort (NA model, the Euro car is completely different) not much wanted.

Manual trans preferred, on most models, but I wouldn't pass on any of Fleet's fleet either (DM me if you want to sell something...)

Things like power windows, doors, AC & CD player are standard so here are my must haves for options....

1. Navigation (i'm new around here and can get lost anywhere)
2. Cooled Seats (its hot around here and something about cool air blowing up you skirt)
3. Sunroof (used to it for so many years that now feel claustrophobic without it)
