Honda CRV for my first used car?
I'm shopping around for my first car, i for sure want a Honda CRV. (I want it 2008 or up) Now on places like Carmax or something, the cheapest version for the 2008 is like 73k miles or up. Should i buy that? Is that too many miles? Or should i give a few grand more and get like a 2011 honda crv with fewer miles? A few grand is a lot for me (poor student) but will it save me money in the long run?
Get the best you can afford, the CRV is pretty solid and will be reliable enough even if it's an older model.
A CRV is not going to save you money at all. They are gas hogs.
- Should I buy a used 02 Honda CRV EX or 03 Nissan Murano SL? Trying to figure out which would be more reliable. Both are used. Honda has 145k and Nissan has 133k.
- I have a 1998 Honda CRV with 240 K miles. Needs $1200 of repair to pass inspection. Should i fix or buy a newer used Honda civic? Mike? I'm the original owner and have done a good job with oil changes etc. However, it needs 2 front control arms with ball joints and rear struts to pass inspection. I've also gone past my mileage on a second timing belt (first one done at 90K miles). Car body exterior and interior is in pretty good shape. Inside looks brand new. But repair cost at 1200 + timing belt ~500 =~1700 in repars. Is it time for a newer used auto.
- Is it possible to trade in a used car for another used car? I bought a 2013 Toyota Yaris about 4 months ago. I bought mainly because it was cheap and fuel efficient. But I realized I don't really like. So I'm have buyers remorse. Is it possible to trade it in for another used car? I was thinking of getting a Honda Civic or a Volkswagen Jetta. How long should I wait to do the trade in?
- Taking my car into the shop for the first time (my first car and first time at a shop)? Recently acquired a 1999 Honda Accord for $1500 with only 160k. Runs great but my dad checked car and said oil is low and then proceeded to check the rest of the car and said all my fluids need to be replaced. What does that mean and what is the price for fixing this? I want to go to the shop with some sort of understanding of the prices so I know if I'm being ripped off or not.
