=(2007) Pre-Owned Subaru Impreza = I chose this type of car because it has a few specific features that I was looking for when buying my first car. I also really liked the sleek design of the car. (This is the car I currently own.) A few things that I liked: While test driving, I also noticed:
 * Sleek design.
 * Bucket seats (very comfortable).
 * A small car.
 * Power windows and locks.
 * VERY large amount of trunk space, suprisingly.
 * The asking price was very cheap for this dealer considering I found the exact same car in other dealers for $3,000+ more.
 * A quite engine.
 * Accelerates quickly so it doesn't take very long to get going after coming to a complete stop.
 * Brakes very well.
 * Takes turns very easily and hugs the curve of the road.
 * Does great in rain, snow, and strong winds. (test drove on the highway during a thunderstorm)

When purchasing this car, I had the option of getting a car loan but I honestly know that I will have enough loans to deal with when I leave in the fall for college. A car loan on top of that would not make life any easier, plus I had the asking amount available that day, so I just paid it off. I ended up paying about $15,000 for the car, about $16,000 when we added on the insurance.

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">For oil changes, I pay about $30 every 3,000 miles.

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">For inspection and emissions, I pay about $40 in total each year.

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Per week, I spend about $54.00 on gas for a regular fuel price of $3.83 at my local gas station. <span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">So monthly, I spend almost $220 on gas. (I drive a lot for work and school, plus extra curriculars) <span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">< $54.00 X 4 weeks = $216.00 >

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I have yet to spend money on snow tires considering my tires work great in rain, shine, or snow. The only thing tire-wise, that I have spent money on, is all four new tires which were approximately $280.

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I have no citations or references because I own this car currently so I know what I pay for it. Otherwise, references would be from receipts from Exxon for gas, Goodyear, Jiffy Lube, and my car deal, the Honda dealer on 19.

<span style="color: #e12397; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I would like to receive 40 points for my project, please and thank you. :)
