Fuel Efficiency Tax Credit
March 24th, 2008
Question: What car do you think was the best you ever owned, in terms of function, fuel efficiency, design and price?
Just been thinking of some of the previously manufactured cars that really were priced right and efficient. Of the cars I have owned, my 1995 Ford Escort Wagon was probably the best investment I ever made in a car. Got over 300K miles on it with no problems whatsoever. Great efficiency, could hold a lot of stuff, no mechanical problems, easy to clean seats and floor, and great resale. Wish I had that car again!
It was so efficient,I ended up having to pay back part of the mileage credit on my taxes…I was working a sales job, and got more out of that car than they figured was possible.
The other car I would like to have, is an old Volvo 240 sedan. The only reason I have never owned one is that I live in rural Michigan, and there are no service places that can work on it. But I have friends in Sweden that have driven that model for up to 25 years!
Answer: One great car I had was a 1993 Chevrolet Lumina, all out comfortable, inexpensive, and even passed california smog without cat convertor replacement or any major repairs with over 330,000 miles on the engine. Transmission is a weak spot however.Finally blew the tranny.
My ‘92 corolla was free, very good on gas , not as comfortable as the lumina, but has ell over 300, 000 miles as well. Tune-up parts are a little more expensive, but still reasonable.
Most fun and reliable, and even decent on gas on the freeway, was my ‘79 camaro with the 305 v-8. Keep your foot out of the accelerator and it would do great on gas, especially on the freeway and have fun doing it.
