What is a good, safe first car for roughly $4,000 or less?
I'm looking to get my first car in about 2 months after having my license for a year and not having a car yet. I will finally have enough for a $4,000 car plus the cost of insurance/registration/fees/taxes. I'm looking for one that is for sure a safe one (which is my number 1 priority with being a new driver) and 2, that is decently reliable and should last a good 3-4 years, before I hope to be able to make enough working where I can afford a 1 or 2 year old Honda Civic (drive that one until it no longer is worth the cost of repairs).
I live in Wisconsin.
Go down to your library, get the current copy of Consumers Reports buying guide and check in the car section. They have a list of recommended used vehicles to consider for various budgets.
- Would you purchase a 2004 Honda pilot for $6,000.000 that has 216,000 miles on it? I'm just browsing online looking at cars for sale and a lot of them have 200k or more miles on them and they want $4,000 or more. Why do people sale their cars for such a high price with a lot of miles on them? Its not just Hondas its all types of cars private and dealers as well
- I sell cars for 1800$ or less but the taxes are almost here could I sell this car for 3000$? It's a 2004 Suzuki Verona 159,000 miles Automatic It's in exelent condition no problems But do you think I'll get 3000$ for it? Most people usually want a honda or Toyota
- Are Honda Fit's good/reliable/safe cars? I feel like these are good first cars from reviews etc… And I could get a used one at a decent price (below $6k). Anyway, would you recommend a Honda Fit for a first car?
- 2008 Honda Fit with 66,000 miles on it for $5,000? Is this a good deal? I need to buy a new car and today I got an offer on a 2008 Honda Fit with 66,000 miles on it for $5,000. I'm a 19 year old girl and I know nothing about cars D: Are Honda Fits good cars? Should I buy this with so many miles already on it? Also, I like to travel. Will this car be safe to drive long distances?
