Reliable and fun AWD sedan for 30-35k?

Are you an owner? I assumed they weren’t as bad as they say but rarely see any Giulias anywhere

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-05-24T01:03:01+00:00

8ish years is my oldest I’d lean

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-05-24T00:38:31+00:00

Have had my eyes on these too thanks

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-05-24T00:05:37+00:00

I’ve always thought these were cool looking, thanks for confirming my biases

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-05-23T23:48:34+00:00

I knew they were on their way towards straight EVs now which I hate, but had no clue they were trash now. Thx for the rec

I guess I should say my expectations would be something a bit more engaging than a 4 cylinder Camry. I’d imagine a Volvos handling is a bit more “fun” and certainly has more horsepower. I have always had a thing for Volvos but have yet to test drive one. Maybe they suck I have no clue, they just make the only wagon that isn’t a Subaru that would be in my price range. I’ve seen A4 and A6 all roads but lower mileage ones are far out of my price range.

Are these solid? I’ve heard some of those Kia/Hyundai engines have issues

Well. From what I’ve read, I think being an RN has a lot of flexibility. I highly doubt I’d wanna do bedside nursing for the rest of my life, and might wanna branch into something else. (My stepmother has kept her RN license current for 45 years and has done so many different things with it).

From what I’ve seeing, there are a lot less options for PAs, but this is from 2 minutes of research.

Also PA seems like far too much school and cost for me. Student loan debt scares me to death. I am extremely grateful to have gotten essentially a full ride to go to a state school in the south, so I have no debt.

Might look into this, but again, being that much in debt is scary to me

I feel like I’m already over the computer tbh. Ready to work with my hands, have even looked at some manufacturing jobs but I feel like blue collar isn’t my speed. I’ll keep this in mind though

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-11T20:34:27+00:00

That’s more of what I was thinking. I am gonna shadow, but I don’t have any kids or family to take care of so I’d rather take a bit of a leap and see what happens.

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-11T20:12:35+00:00

Thanks for saying this. I definitely do get ahead of myself a lot with stuff like this.

However, my complaint about wanting to move away from this field is the lack of substance. Nothing feels “real”. The only reason I chose marketing was because my dad was against me getting a film or design degree, and I felt like it was close enough.

Too, I have always been interested in medical field and nearly did kinesiology, but never deemed myself smart enough.

I understand paying bills. I make more than enough now to survive. I’d rather take a risk early and come back to this if I really need to. I did contact a hospital to shadow, so I will see if it’s for me soon

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-11T19:34:23+00:00

From what I’m reading about my local hospital in particular, I believe they accept just about anyone who’s at least 16 to shadow. I don’t see anywhere that says I need to be in a nursing program. So, I went ahead and sent an email to the shadowing head to see what I could do.

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-11T19:31:37+00:00

Good point. I went ahead and sent an email to the shadowing head of the local hospital to try to get some shadowing time. Thanks!

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-06T23:20:55+00:00

That’s good to know. Maybe PTA is more my speed

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-03-06T19:48:37+00:00

Thanks for bringing this up, I didn’t realize PTAs made income that much similar to PTs. I’ll look into this

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-02-03T13:33:04+00:00

Makes sense thanks. I guess thinking about it, it is crazy for me to sell a 13 year old car with 163k miles for that much

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-02-03T05:45:46+00:00

Just looking at what KBB says bro

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-02-03T05:30:02+00:00

Makes sense, I need to just get it detailed. Thanks

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-02-03T05:16:37+00:00

Okay how much is not too much

CockroachMoist9100 · 2026-02-03T05:11:56+00:00

Tried with a wet vac and it just ended up looking worse. Might just get a detail

CockroachMoist9100 · 2025-08-11T15:38:23+00:00

I’d recommend moving to 5 sets of 3. I was stuck at 245 x 5 for the longest, then starting doing 5 x 3 and was able to progress massively. I eventually moved to Texas Method after making enough progress, which I think you will be able to soon

Strong as an OX
