what to get a tennager for a first car? SASSYA: any ideas on what to get a 18 year old for a first car? i have to find her one and quick! also if any one knows of any web sites to find a good use car please let me know. thank you. Ssloan09: i got just the site for you theyre cheap and realiable. check out fitzgeraldautomall.com if they ask your working with steven sloan f_ortiz_jr: Honda bro get him a Honda. They are extremely reliable have great fuel efficiency They also look good with some exterior modding Chet226: I bought a couple cars from Cars For Causes Charities. The price is right. You can make an offer as much as 15% below the window price. They smog the cars in the areas that require it. You can get an older car that runs great. Cheaper insurance. If they crash or bang it up, No harm ~ No foul! haha Chet226: Oh, to answer your question LOL google "most reliable used car" or "best car for a single woman" or something. I'm serous! You will find that Honda Accord is one of the most reliable cars on the planet. Being a mechanic for all my friends that's the one I recommend most. My cousin bought a 2002 Hyundai Accent used in 2006 and has been trouble free all through his UCLA days. 5 years later, it has still yet to go to the shop for anything other than an oil change. He's still driving the pants off of it. Being a Chevy man, I'm impressed by these and Then there's my fathers '92 Mitsubishi Gallant that has 220,000 miles on it and still runs like a banchee! I'd get an older version of a Make's top of the line car for that year. Then you have reliability and if there has been any recalls, it's been taken care of by now. SASSYA: well got her a car finally a 2001 grans am its real nice thanks for all your thoughts and choices peachtea: a used toyota or honda. try to not buy new cars. they moment you buy a new one you lose money. you can find a perfectly fine one owner used car for a lot less $$. toyota and honda cars car cheap, cheap to fix, and efficient bahcatha: chet226 Go ahead and buy one of these cars with a rubber timing belt and old computer sensors that break or burn out without warning and give it to your daughter so she can be stranded along some highway somewhere. bahcatha: then she will also need a good cell phone to call for help cos those pieces of crap do nothing but break down (Post deleted by Stassi SUR ) new not: its not what car, we can buy,its the kid whos driving that counts , is he or she apt ! if hes head is not scrued on straight then your insurance just go to the sky ,here in france its very hard for kids, well first timers ,first six months ,, one big fault 3 points off your permit for two years ! in saying that you can get your pionts back ! (Edited by new not) FORDDIESEL2000: try a honda,its small ,not to fast ,and good on gas,that is what i would be looking for XWhiteandBlue: reliable, cheap, safe and not too fast. A small four-cylinder economy sedan or hatchback will be your best bet. An economical small pickup truck could work too. Above all, buy used... it will get scratched/ banged up Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Mazda Protege, Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Chevy Cobalt, Ford Focus are good options. Small Pickups like the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier Ford Ranger, are also good. Something between 5-9 years old will give you the best balance between low price and still reliable. SUVs are an option, but they tend to be more costly Most Suzukis will be a great value as well. (Post deleted by Stassi SUR ) | cars Chat Room Similar Conversations |
