OK, if you are set for school and have cash to burn, then an upgrade might not be a bad idea. First, forget forget a rusty Expedition--or anything rusty. Expeditions are like sand at the beach. Besides, you need a barge like that for school?
Next, what do you really want to drive? SUV, truck, car? Medium or large?
Where are you going to school? Snow country or sun country?
I had a $500 Mustang in school, and it worked fine sun or snow.
As for:
Chargers: Nice car, 4 door, gas hog with big motor.
Challenger: Just as fat and heavy as the Charger, but nice looking car and a little roomy compared to Mustang and Camaro.
Camaro: Based on sitting in one for 30 seconds at the auto show, and looking at them, I'm not a fan of the high sides and short windows. Closed in feeling to follow.
Mustang: Any '05 to present V8 would be a fine ride IMO.
As for trucks, only the Ranger is nominally US in a size other than "Forrestall Class" from Ford. Dakota's are big and gas hogs. 4 cylinder Chev/GMC Colorado/Canyon are, as with all 4 cylinders of that type, a bit gutless and they are, of course, GM products.... Their 5 cylinder is a gas hog.
You want a 4x4?
I'm droning on here, but think about it some more before you lay out any loot. The Expy run ok? Run it into the ground and invest the money--that's an idea.....
