First Car ... Opinions?? Reps

[Tugboat328]

help me out guys, most likely gonna be used unless its a cheap 08... what do you all recommend...also accepting a small truck..possibly.

[ahhmyeye]

budget?

[Tugboat328]

well my dad was talkin about gettin me an 08 focus, but i dont really like them that much....so anywhere around 17 is the absolute most, like it to be lower.

edit - was gonna lease an 08 focus for like 200 a month

I would say get something with good gas mileage, yet not a POS car. I would say a two or four door ford, nissan or chevy would definitely be great.

I have had experience with fords, and I think they are great, very reliable and they just keep going.

Currently, I drive a nissan altima which is a very fast car, very fun to drive and everything. I would definitely look into a 2003-2008 altima or maxima, because they are very fuel efficient, comfortable and fast.

I have an Altima for 200/month, to refer to your above post.

Chevrolet Cobalt? Decent gas milage and as long as you dont get an SS they are a decent price.

Then again If you have the money I wouldn't suggest anything lower then a 2000. Old cars tend to need more maintence obviously. How much cash do you have towards this?
Also how much do you know or care about cars?

I saved up 1200 bucks for my Bronco II as my first car. Loved the thing wish I still had it actually. Now I drive a Galant. Makes you appreciate it much more when you worked for it IMO.

Ide get the cheapest one possible that gets the best gas mileage possible.. but thats probly just me, I commute 80 miles a day.

[whitesox3223]

[Hellboy_37334]

2 door Honda accord

[MikeGabbz]

Go with a 1996-2001 audi a4's. those model's (B5) are so sexy and you can find one easily under 100k miles for under $10k....

[whitesox3223]

im pretty sure that you get your insurance costs more for a coupe-style car. at least thats how it is for me

[Tugboat328]

don't know much about cars as this is my first one, i just want something that looks presentable, and stylish, that isnt gonna guzzle gas...gonna look some of this stuff up

Not a good Idea..... Ok think first... hes looking for a first car, and a 96-01 is getting old. When you step up into luxary you must be willing to spend a lot more money then necessary. For example, Maintence,parts, and insurance steps up and can be troublesome. And for 10k ? for only 10k you could pick up a A4, but you could easily be spending another 10k on parts in the next couple of years. My dad's friend picked up a 85 Merc ( forgot the exact modle, v6 coupe..)for about 13,000. Thought It was a deal until he had engine problems etc... Eventually he ended up adding a 30,000 in repairs. So he spend around 43,000 whe he probly could have picked up a 04 E class.

alright I would suggest something that is cheap and reliable. Easy on parts and insurance. I would suggest a civic. Can't really go wrong there.
