Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm also looking for a car, new or used and willing to spend up to $40K. If you guys could seriously help me out it would be great as I know nothing about cars. I'm so open to any suggestion that the Delorean might be the frontrunner right now.

I'm thinking about an 09 Tahoe when they come out, but there's gotta be better options that I am just not privy to. No wife, kids or anything. *Knock on wood* Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,757 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Buy used.If you are set on new, I would get a mustang, they look and sound cool.but buy used, you save on everything and you save so much you can easily pay for any repairs and still be way ahead.If you buy a classic, you get a car, you get to be cool, and you get to sell it for the same or maybe even more than you paid for it.so 68 Camero RSS convertibleDon't buy a used foreign car with high resale value... or you are the one paying the premium. If you want a foreign car with high resale value... then the obvious decision is to buy it new.I just bought an 03 Windstar for $3000 and it's a great car. Lot's of room for a bed and tons of whores.... or my wife and kids. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't want to start a new thread with basically the same question so I thought I could be the threads 1st mate. Nevermind that sounds gay.I don't recall saying anything about a Civic.

antistuff 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 the only things that matter when buying a car are how fast it goes and how well it handles. so with your price range you should be looking at something from around 04/05. you can get a very nice camaro for that much.

The reason it was never resolved was that the car's target market didn't see it as a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

You can go to the honda website and it has added all this info on prices and stuff like that. You can even see what color the cars come in. Seriously, it's not hard to find the price of a car. If you can take the time to post this topic and check back you have time to go to honda.com.I just bought an 08 Civic. It's a dog compared to my previous car but the gas mileage is great and it will last me the 3 yrs I leased for and I won't have to put one cent into it. Link to post Share on other sites

pocket3s 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I just bought a Hyundai Tiburon. I like it a lot. It looks sporty but I don't know if you want a coupe. They are around 17k and come with 60k bumper to bumper, 100k powertrain warranty. Also, if you do get it, you should go for the automatic.Tiburon Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Neither will an SUV.Help me then.I think a Civic would hurt my chances, where a 40K SUV would neither help nor hurt, which is about my ceiling for a non-rich non-celebrity. Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Call me mid life/punk/whatever, but I have grown to love this little beast. 30 mpg when babied, otherwise just stupid fast for it's size (little 4 banger turbo) and the quickest shifting automatic I have ever driven. Just a blast.Find a used one and save the depreciation. Link to post Share on other sites
