What he (Mathias) said. Here's the same approach, with a little different spin: "Hey guys, Bobst actually buys a car !!!" Oct 19, 2003 5:23pm   Notice the emphases on staying out of chat mode and always remembering your option to walk? Here's why: http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/42962/article.html?- - tid=edmunds.a.landing.buying..4.*   Two things I'd add: Spend $12 on a Consumer Reports printout. Sometimes the pricing data is better than what you can get for free. If you wanna save some drive time, you can use the net to locate car and dealer.

Hi planetdon. I like your choice in cars. The Toyota Matrix is a good, reliable vehicle. Have you checked out the Pontiac Vibe yet? You may want to add it to your shopping list as well. I say this because much like the Toyota Corolla - Chevrolet Prizm of several years ago, the Matrix and Vibe are produced jointly by GM and Toyota. They are very similar vehicles, other than their styling and the fact that the Pontiac can often be purchased for less money.   As far as shopping advice goes, Edmunds.com has a number of excellent articles on how to purchase a new vehicle. Definitely make sure to check out this one prior to going shopping: 10 Steps to Buying a New Car. This article will get you started, but please make sure to let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

1) Decide what kind of car you want to buy.   2) Try to figure out how much it will cost. The info on this website will help.   3) Go to the dealer and make an offer.   That's about it.
#17 of 5169 I'm surprised by landru2 Nov 02, 2003 (10:34 am)
that it took 15 posts for someone to mention the Prizm. :^)
#18 of 5169 "Prizm" by steine13 Nov 02, 2003 (10:45 am)
He said "excellent interior". That the Prizm does not have. -m
#19 of 5169 You're right. by landru2 Nov 02, 2003 (10:58 am)
Sorry, my post didn't convey the sarcasm intended. I just find it somewhat humorous that in any discussion about buying a used car, the vaunted Prizm always makes its way in there. Maybe it's just me. :^)
