Why do you own the car you do?

Its a combination of things.

I own a 96 Chevy Suburban, and its gets about 14mpg. I wanted it because it seats 9 people, which is the exact number of people in our immediate family, so if we go somewhere we can all use 1 vehicle. Its big enough to haul wood, beds, and tow a trailer. Also its very damn good in snow, and mud. Also, price, I found it for 4k at 140k miles, a lot of the other bigger SUVs/Suburbans(newer) were a lot more pricey(also found a Suburban in St. Louis for 10k, but it had 300k miles, rip off city)

Thats my primary transportation.

My wife drives a 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx, we got it because of the price, its safety/reliability was a lot better than the Dodges/Fords we had at the time, and its mpg was better than our old Intrepid. This vehicle was used, we got it for 12k at 23k miles, I would never buy new unless I won the lotto or something.
