Help me find a new car (20kish)

[mason55]

Maybe we should open up a new forum for all the car related questions in OOT?

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.

GL,

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.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. I guess I left out I am also a first time car buyer as you can tell, so this really, really helps me out a lot.

Nah, this will be a long term car, that's why I am very interested in which way is the best way to go.

if you're going to buy a new car be a balla and get something sweet looking instead of the ugly crap you've mentioned so far. buying a new low or mid level car instead of used seems pretty silly.

Used is better, it doesnt matter what you plan to do with it. You can buy an 06 w/ 12k miles on it, for abotu 10 to 20% cheaper than a brand new car, and you will not be able to tell the difference until you look at the odometer in most cases. Brand new cars are for suckers or people who drive ferrari's


A used mazda 6, w/ the 6 cylinder is a good economical roomy car. Ive never heard anything abd about it except some people dont like the dash.
