Re: Help me find a new car (20kish)
 

i just bought a mazda 3 GX and i highly recommend it. i test drove it and a civic, and it drove way better than the civic. other than being much better to drive and looking better imo, they are very similar cars, including price.

i sell hondas so i figured i'd throw my opinion in. obv the civic/civic si are very nice, especially if you are looking for great gas mileage/high resale value and long term ownership. A car I'd consider is the sentra se-r. everything i've heard about this car has been beyond positive. if i can answer any questions on anything feel free to pm me.

The new Lancer is pretty cool, and significantly sportier than the non-Si Civic. I'd say go with that.

From everything I've read/seen it looks like a sick car for the money. Getting out to test drive it ASAP.

Yeah, I love how the Sentra looks but I've been a little bit worried about they have been pricing out(22kish) locally on the SE-Rs, but I'm going to go drive one/take a look anyways.

I have an internet offer for 16.2 on a 2008 Rabbit 2 door manual in candy white with everything but the wheels. Drive this car if you can guys, it's very nice. Much faster than anything in its class. I would be on this right now but I just can't get over how it looks. What about the 4 door..I think it looks pretty good but obv more expensive. 17.7 or so

Used ('06 or '07) Volvo S40, imo

Does it make sense to buy a used car that has 40-60k miles on it as opposed to a new car for less or the same price? Just wondering if it really matters that much, not hating on the idea.

If you get a used car with that many miles but that has been maintained well, you will get a MUCH MUCH better value than a used car

hey gator,

i just picked up a accord v-6 brand new for 20.7k out the door.

They are redesigning the accord for '08 so the dealers are getting incentives to get rid of 'em.

Great car, could not be happier.

Don't buy new. Getting a 1-2 year old car with low miles and a remaining warranty (or a certified car with a longer warranty if possible).

There is hardly any reason to pay for the out the door depreciation of new cars. Used cars offer the most value and many offer everything you could find in a new car.

Your range of cars will expand greatly if you look for used as well as tons of used cars are under $20k.
