Planning to buy a new car, Help please!
Ok, all the cars I had since now were given to me by uncles/brother etc. I never had to buy a car before.
I need to buy a new car and I need tips on how to negociate, what I can or cannot do etc. I'm thinking about these models in particuliar: Hyundai Accent Mazda MP5 Ford Focus (hatch) Honda Civic I just want a basic model, nothing fancy with a manual Transmission. So what's the best choice. I want something reliable and easy to maintain. But not to expensive. Thanks! |

Id go for the civic ... hondas routinely go to 200,000 miles with no problem.
Are you thinking of getting a used or new car?

A new one.
I've been driving old beaters for 12 years now. I want a new one. Another thing, what's the pros/cons of renting and buying? |

Unless you plan on having a new car every three years or so, leasing is not the way to go. If you plan on keeping a car for several years, new is better then used. Of the cars you've mentioned, the Civic would be the one I'd point you to.
Do a search in this forum for car buying tips. I know there are several threads with good information in them. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY GET A CIVIC. I myself don't like them, but they get about 30mpg. Great investment and a Great reliable car.

be smart
as far as negotiating goes, never put yourself in a situation you're not willing to walk away from. and since you're going to be out there you might as well test drive the new lexus IS sport design, you get a free subscription to media week magazine for testdriving, it's woth the ride.
