GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 what are they like 35 grand? could buy a really nice used vette Base on a WRX is just under $27,000 and comparing a used corvette to a new WRX is not apples to apples. WRXs are for younger people and corvettes are for old men going through a midlyfe crisis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprogram4 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 most people cant afford the new corvettes so they get a camaro instead. they have a ton of problems and we take trade in's with under 15,000 miles all the time. second worst visibility of any car i have ever driven, other than when in the early-mid 2000's Ford brought the thunderbird back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Since rental car rates out west is the title of this discussion, I have a question. Staying in SLC, I wasn't going to rent a car, as the public transportation sounds pretty good. Then I thought I want to do a couple days hiking instead of skiing. I can rent a front wheel drive mid size sedan for $200 the whole week. Think that will work out? I did request chains. UTA is ok, but you will spend some time on the bus to get to the mountain, and you are on their schedule. It clearly works, but i wasnt a huge fan, i would definitely rather have a car. Chains.....i highly doubt you will leave the rental place with a set of chains. To them, you might as well have requested a hammer to beat the outside of the car with. Rental companies dislike having chains on their cars, not saying it doesnt happen, but when chains break or are not installed correctly, they will beat the living shit out of the front fenders. a couple options..... Rent an AWD, downgrade when you get there based on the forecast. its much harder to upgrade to the AWD when you booked the smart car, and its snowing. Stick with the smart car, and take the bus if its going to snow. Just try to get on the earliest bus to hopefully beat some people. I already got like 1/4 of my work done for today and am bored so looked up rental car rates in Salt Lake City March 7-14 on Orbitz. $300ish for a midsize SUV for a week is a bargain. A lot more convenience having a rental car vs taking buses everyday to the resorts and can see more stuff. Do you drive an AWD vehicle here? I just like it better in snow for piece of mind. I have no idea how to use or handle chains. image.png Just be careful which company you rent from. those prices are attractive due to the fact you have to take a shuttle to get to their lot. i find that to be a pain in the ass as well. here are the car companies for SLC. Some are also not open 24 hrs, so a delayed late flight, or an early departure could cause problems. https://www.slcairport.com/parking-and-transportation/rental-cars-2/ Book a car without giving a CC for deposit or whatever. Its so easy to cancel, rebook, and rebook again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momskeeztoo Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Went with small SUV. Got Rav 4 AWD for 318 for the week. Thought that was pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
