August 27, 200718 yr Ok, I am finally deciding to get a car of my own instead of using my parents I have a budget of about $6,000, but I can go over a little if its good enough I am looking for the following things in a car- decent amount of room decent gas milage doesnt look like a blind monkey with down syndrome designed it I'm looking towards a sedan, but don't know which kind I should get :oops: Thanks :D
August 27, 200718 yr Go to a used car dealership, look at Toyotas. My parents just bought me a new car (My other one died) and we got a 1994 Toyota Corolla, and it's a sweet car, runs nicely, cd player, working a/c decent gas mileage and whatnot. Almost any of the asian made cars get good gas mileage and look halfway decent. Whatever you do don't get a Ford Taurus, any kind. But when you go to a used car dealership, make sure you look up the Blue Book prices online for the max that should be charged for that type of car (with the various workings in it such as: A/C, transmission type, etc.) and make sure the engine sounds like it's running properly, check the trunk, lift up the inside of the trunk (Where the spare is) look around to see if the car looks like it had any body work done, you don't want a junkyard car that was fixed up. That also means look at the engine, is half the engine brand new? Then it's a salvage title most likely. Check the tires, make sure they're not bald tires. Also, check if the A/C works (If you need it). If you're going for an Automatic Transmission, then check the transmission fluid, make sure it's PINK and not dark colored, also make sure that there's enough in there. Also check the engine oil, clean oil? THen of course take it for a drive :) But always give the car a thorough look through. But Toyotas are nice, they can easily run up to 350 thousand miles without that much trouble.
