Buying A Car

Unread postby Mecham » Sun Dec 05, 2004 5:05 pm

I might be getting a new car soon cause of a new job that i might get. I just dont want buy new. I have searched online for cars but just cant find a really good website. Does anyone have any recommendations on what a good website to buy used cars and what kind of car i should buy?

traderonline.com or go pick up an Auto Trader at the grocery store. Buying a brand new car is not a good investment in my opinion as it loses a of value as soon as you drive it off the lot. Also check out the Consumer Reports car ratings for reliability and all that stuff.

try buying a car and driver magazine...it tells you the safest/most durable/most reccomended cars and any other information youd want to know about new and used models (soo informative) and once you pick a few go to the nearest dealerships...thats how I found my nissan pathfinder (good car btw) (if your looking for suvs the suburu forrester also got really good ratings) good luck :-)
