Im gonna chime in since my girlfreind and I have been shopping around for used cars the past month.
Her budget was 6K. She needed a car, four door (cheaper for her insurance), good on gas, cheap insurance, reliable, and comfortable.
I never influenced her in anything.
We looked at:
-Sentra
-Civics
-Focus
-Saturn LS1 (cant remeber the model, somehting like that...its a dam saturn :rolleyes: )
-Golf
-neon
-acura 1.6 el
She honestly liked the focus the best out of all of these.., She liked the fact that in the focus she wasnt sitting 3 inches from the ground like in the civic and Acura, she HATED the way the 2 golfs (CL) drove, neon....well, nuff said, the sentra had really hig Km's (190K)...she loved the focis seats out of all of the rides, the interior she addored...
She almost bought a focus 4 door. 60 000Km (warranty left for 40K or 1.5 years), the lady was asking $5800.00....thats pretty much a NEW car for under 6K.
THEN her VERY NICE dad came by and gave her an extra $2K to spend on the car. "Its a present" he said. Nice fookin present.
So now she had $8000.00 to spend, we went to the ford delaership and she bought a 1995 Honda Accord EX with 70K on it. :lol: It was a trade in for a Focus!! :lol:
I'll post pics later.
