Used Cars
Hello,
My wife and I are looking for a good used realiable car. Originally we were hoping to purchase for around $4000, however, we weren't able to find anything that really excited us for that price. Here's a list of some cars that we are currently looking at. What would be your top 2 choices out of these? Thanks! Again, we are looking for something that would be realiable and wouldn't hurt us too much at the pump. All of these cars are in Texas where we live. I think they are all automatic. I've listed extra features if they have them. Also, any other suggestions are welcome. I've looked at some civics and accords, but haven't found any great prices on any.

Re: Used Cars
Kevin,,, when shopping for a car your price range, all that matters is your investment outlasting the car, miles and Mfg dont come into play.
For starters should you be interested in any of your selection go to this link for step one buying a used car. http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html

Re: Used Cars
In most cases people shopping for used cars do not have the cash to buy a vehicle outright. They usually are in need of a loan for link removed by Moderator - unauthorized advertising It is important to remember that you not only need to comparison shop on the price of the car but you should do the same when shopping around for used car financing. It could save you a substantial amount of money in the long run. Before accepting an offer for financing a used car, educate yourself on the particulars of vehicle financing. Using online car loan websites to do research is an easy and effective method.

Re: Used Cars
The best thing to do is shop around the web. People are jacking the prices up on cars good with gas now.

Re: Used Cars
Hello Kevin,
The choice is yours. Pick the one that you like the best. I like comfort and gas mileage. I recommend searching online classifieds automotive section and print publications such as newspapers and other car publications. I know there are a lot of online classifieds, but it could save you a ton of money. Cheers,
