What type of car do you think I should get?

Post by Bush4Ever »

Knowing what you know about me?

I'm getting a new car and your input will weigh heavily on my decision.

I can also answer questions if it helps.

Questions:

1) Are you married
2) Do you have kids
3) How old are you
4) How long is your drive to work
5) Do you require a lot of trunk space for activities
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Toyota Corolla LE 2014. Nice looking car. Good gas mileage as it's only a 4 cylinder. Reverse view camera display.

$19,700 including a decent package of accessories.

Gas is one constant in life that is consistently variable. The one thing consistent about it is that it will always continue to go up in price.
MPG should be a huge priority for just about anyone.

That being said, a new car is the worst investment ever. Look at used.

I actually didn't mean variable in that sense. I meant it in a model/weighting sense.

I am also buying used for the reason you mentioned. I just want to make a thread, I guess.

I would say no to small sedans in your late 20s with a family. I know you suggested this based on his price range but good luck fitting anything in the back seat. Worth the extra $$$ to move up to a Camry as an investment for the future

The Camry is a significantly better vehicle than the Corolla. Or so I'm told.

Yes we all here about how much a car depreciates after driving it off the lot but look at the difference in interest rates between new and used, especially when you can find new cars at 0%
