I looked at 1 Ford Focus but he was asking too much even after I got him down to 4200 and he would take my Buick.

There's another. 2002 4door sedan. Red - which can be hot, but not really on that car. lol

I think they look lame. Boring car. But yes, great gas saver.
As far as dependability, I hear good things usually - but apparently the GF of a friend has one that's a couple years old and it's falling apart.

A wise man told me: Buy what you like, because you're gonna spend a lot of time with it. You should enjoy that time.
He also told me to wait 6 weeks or so and wait for the newer models to come out.
Is there a time of the year where older models get reduced in price? End of the year? Beginning of fall?


I'm looking at this one. Is it TOO good? From what I've seen so far in Denver, that's a really good deal.

I like the way it looks. I might go take a look at it and see the carfax.

There's a dealership with a 2000 civic..or maybe 01. Anyway, 215K miles, and he wants 5K. Absolutely ridiculous. People are asking 5K for 120k+++ 99 hondas. I dunno wtf is going on. There are thousands of them on the road.

And thanks Profit.
I have been thinking about getting something nicer, putting down 4K or something, and doing payments from then on. But I have a problem with paying interest - not the good kind of milking me.
