Looking for a reliable used car ASAP  Reply with quote  

My daughter needs transportation and is pretty much broke, but her 2000 Mercury Sable blew the engine yesterday. Anyone got a reliable and decent condition car for sale. Needs to be a four door probably. I will most likely have to buy it for her and let her pay us back Sad

I keep on seeing that blue car on the north side of NW Expressway everytime we go to the turnpike, it has $600 written on the window.

Bobacus: Checked out the one on NW Expressway...needs a motor too Neutral

Dan: Make it $2000

Menos, I'm not willing to do the work. The shop it is in said thay will pay her $1000 as is and fix it themselves for a donation to their church or to give to one of their kids. Blue book is about $2500 to $3000.

Thing is she has no money and needs transportation. We can probably pay betweek $2000 and $2500 for a car, with the $1000 the shop is offering....

If you're going for high mileage cars, rolling your dice with an old camry or accord is generally safer than an american made car from the 80-00 era. I hate to admit it because I do like to buy american, but sometimes its better just to get the rice burner and avoid constant repairs.

/last two toyotas have been tanks, only got rid of the solara because I needed 4 doors.

When buying a used car, it doesn't matter if it is american. You are not contributing to the US economy any more either way.

Unless you're dumb enough to buy new parts from the manufacturer when the inevitable failures occur.

Unless you get a loan to buy the used car.

The loan for my car came from TFCU. Had I bought a Honda, it would have come from TFCU. So, I'm not sure why a loan makes a difference. You can get a loan from a bank with operations overseas for an american car too.

The loan contributes to the economy in both cases.
