Replying to: british_rover (Sep 01, 2006 5:53 pm) also, I looked back at one of your old posts and you said that I could get a "less loaded" compared to your sisters S for 16k OTD or less. how is this possible? even a barebones LE or S is ~16k invoice, meaning OTD price would be more than 17k. maybe I'm missing something here.

| i'm looking to buy a car for a HS teenager. I prefer a car thats reliable/safe and a little sporty (a compromise I made with my son). I am willing to spend $15,000 for the car before taxes, registration, title, etc. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. | |

Replying to: tidester (Aug 02, 2006 5:27 pm) I'm glad that I found this discussion thread because I've been racking my brains about what vehicle would be best for myself. I am a 23 y/o female first time driver. Now that I am in my senior year of college I will need a car for travel to and from campus and to various professional events around the DC Metro Area. I don't know much about cars but I have been trying my best to figure things out and put two/two together. First off I only want to spend $10,000 after everything is said and done (it is all that I can afford). I would prefer a vehicle that is small since I'll have to park and drive within the city. I want something that will last me for at least 3 to 5 years or so because I have student loans to pay off and I want to take care of them before considering another vehicle  And, a car that is cute would be quite nice as well. But, I'm not too big on power - I just need to be able to do the speed limit  Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going to a Credit Union New and Used Car Sale with my mother at the end of this month to hopefully find something - and I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction prior to doing so. Or, if I can possibly find a better deal in the area. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: xxavxx (Sep 03, 2006 3:22 pm) Though for 8 or 9k you should be able to get a very nice vehicle that should much longer than 3-5 years. Also, since you are new to car buying...I would take an experienced person with you. Mark-up is high on used cars, so do your homework so you don't overpay. Cute? Whatever you find that is cute and reliable should work. Good luck.
