Buying your first car.

[David H]

I'm looking to buy a car(this will be my first car, getting my license in a little more than a week).

I'm trying to find a used car that's cheap, something that will last me a few years. I want a car with pretty good MPG.

Any suggestions? I really have no idea what I want, I'm not much of a car guy.

Thanks.

That would be a great website if I had any idea what kind of car I wanted.

YOur going to have to give more info than that-
2 door, 4 door, trunk space an issue, will you be driving in any extreme climates?

And this is why autotrader is such a great site. The power search has a ton of options.

I would prefer a 4 door, but a 2 door wouldn't be terrible. Don't need a huge trunk, just something reasonably big for daily crap. As for extreme climates...occasional snow, but I live in Cincinnati, so I should be okay as far as that goes.

I've looked around a little bit, it's a nice site, but my problems start when I get to the third option, "Make/Model"

I have no idea what I want as far as Make goes.

Just buy some crappy-looking but dependible foreign 4 door high milage sedan that looks like every other supository on the road.
