First car - Input Please!

I would cry, and I mean literally cry if I had to pay a shop to fix my cars... I have saved my self thousands of dollars doing all my own repairs... I don't know how anyone affords to pay shops to fix their stuff...

 

Update.
Currently talking to a private seller about purchasing his 07 S40 with 76k miles. Will probably shoot him an offer within the next two weeks. Clean title + full maintenence reports and what not ftw

 

^ nice. what color?

 

It's a silver with a black interior. Planning on some brushed aluminum wheels and keep the color scheme clean/classy. Was gonna go with silver/black or black/black if I get a black car but I think I might mature and outgrow it, I think silver is a classic.

 

true...i would prefer black just because its stealthier and to me would be more fun to do cosmetic mods on. then again im addicted to modding my cars :/
