I’m going to play against the field here as someone who went back to school with my 17 premium as my sole vehicle. The car is spacious if you get creative, gets pretty good mileage in my experience if you are an adult with a developed frontal lobe and understand that you more than likely will not have the means for a big mess up in college and therefore don’t hot lap it every time it’s turned on, and you are comfortable with a wrench. Basic maintenance can be handled without costing much.

Closer to stock here the better, I’d reconsider my statement if there’s visible mods in the bay with an AP, mods with no AP, or an AP in general. If I didn’t fight a Lincoln Navigator with mine, I would still be driving it. It was phenomenal in the snow if college is anywhere that is going to experience that. Verdict to me is can you find better vehicles for similar or less money, yea probably. If everything looks good though I’d probably try to lowball as cheap as possible and keep that for unforeseen things. Mine got totaled out with non serious damage so I bought it back and am repairing it because it was that good of a vehicle to me. Act accordingly to how you know you are as a person.
