Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 how about a kia! realy if you must go new a honda has the least price drop when you drive it off the lot, unless you go with a high doller import (Audi, suby, Etc.)

Ambrosia Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 yeah we have been looking at honda's but I was hoping there was somthing else out there I also looked at the ford focus but I'm not sure if I really like them I'm not really concerned with reselling it we will drive it till it dies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest h23it Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 10k... looks like a kia it is maybe a suzuki, or saturn... I just buy used cars. Its easier and I've had a really bad experience with a new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1647545498 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 You can have a Hyundai in/under that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 but hundai's are just like kia's...I'm sorry but I think they are the worst cars every made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 how about saturn's I've never really looked at them, I didn't even think about them....are they desent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I would personaly NEVER buy new, it just does not make sence. I would find a good used card then have a shop check it out for free before you buy. I check cars out all the time for my customers, I give them as long a lis of problems as I can find from "it needs a engine" to "the passenger door makes a noise" or "it needs a fuse". You just need to keep in mind that it is a machine, it WILL break and you will have to fix it (even new(sometimes more so)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 well scott would you mind if I broght them by for you to look at, cuz the problem is I don't know much about cars I'm just learning, would I need to set up an appt with you before hand?

Not the case any more. For what you want, the Elantra fits the bill. I agree, a Kia is not even a car, really. Neither was Daiwoo, that was the most horrible car ever made. But honestly, the Hyundai is MUCH better than it used to be. At least go look at one before dismissing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 put 10k in that F85 with injection on it some body/interior work and a disc brake upgrade it'd make a great daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Just have someone go out car shopping with you that knows more about cars. That is, if you want to go the used route. I wouldn't buy new again either. Been there, done that, not again. Unless I get rich. But even so, it would be iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 ok thanks everyone I'll go look at the Elantra and start looking at some used cars. and dave once again shut the fuck up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm selling my car for $9500 OBO, its used, but excellent shape, low miles and fully loaded including leather. It will run strong forever and then some. We're having kids and I need a four door so it's up for grabs, check my FS post in the Corral, or email me at Black98Beast@aol.com I agree, screw the new cars, some used cars are better than new, especially new cheap economy cars.

Hated the damn thing though, cause it felt like my little Neon was faster at taking off then the damn thing and I didn't like the way the interior was designed. graemlins/doh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I would check out the Elantras also. My wife has a 03 Elantra GT 5-door. Pretty good car. Had no problems with it except a bad rear bearing which was fixed by the warrenty for free. The GT's are nice since they have leather. We get about 29 miles/gallon with 98% of the driving done on the highway. BTW...Kia is a division of Hyundai. You can also get a 04 Dodge Neon SXT for less than $10,000. Many dealerships are trying to get them off the lot. They get pretty good gas milage normal around 32ish on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
