CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Need your help, alternative car for 1LE in off season

Iron Oak · 02-01-2017, 05:57 PM

Hi all,

I need your input. I will be purchasing my 1LE in the early spring. The 1LE will be my fair weather car and track car. I will not be driving it in the winter.

I am looking for some opinions on some secondary options.

Some criteria;

Needs to fit two kids seats in back.
I live in Maine so driving in the snow is a definite.
Fairly reliable and inexpensive to maintain. (This is subjective but I was a mechanic for many years so most repairs I do myself)

I would ideally like to keep it to a $10k limit but may stretch it to $15k.

No Subarus, BMW, Audi or Mercedes

I have been considering a ATS 2.0T with manual (Leary of the 2.0T reliability though)
A Dodge Charger interceptor (old cop car)
A Jaguar XF

Thoughts or personal experiences would be appreciated.
