- I should slap Mr. Lee for this.
-
- Mr. Lee could spend 15K, and he bought a Saturn? Buy Saturn if you are pressed
- for money, but 15K doesn't sound like Mr. Lee is pressed for money.
-
- My advice, if Mr. Lee doesn't mind buying 100% Japanese (but I personally would
- have second thoughts because I'm an American), then buy an Acura Integra.
- It's a much better car than the Saturn.
-
- On the other hand if he wants to buy American-ish, then I would suggest
- a Honda Civic. Again, it's a much better car than the Saturn. Since you
- are obviously willing to pay the $1700 worth of pure profit (to the dealer)
- for the Saturn, I'm sure that you won't mind paying MSRP for the Civic or
- the Integra.
