Car advice?

Well my is broken and is very expensive to fix. I need a new used car and has to be under 4000. I can only have a domestic car since insurance is higher for foreign cars. I was looking for a coupe or sedan, maybe even an suv. 4wd or awd would be a plus but I could live without it. I don't really know where to start, and would like something like a colbalt or similar. Something not too big, neither too small. I am suppose to go to the dealer tmrw and look at some but just wanted to get an idea before hand.
 
Hmm well 4wd i guess isn't really needed, so iam guess a coupe or sedan. Nothing too big, something smaller than a stratus or similar.
 
For 4k I won't suggest going to dealers because you will pay their marked up price. Go with private party for best deal. Dealers are good when you want a new/CPO/relatively new car.

Check out dodge stratus, chevy malibu, Olds alero. They should come under your budget with about 75-80k miles.
 
private party FTW
If you can find something with a decent reputation for reliability with under 90K miles, get it

I'd probably go GM > Ford > DCX

A used Ford Focus is a pretty good deal. I think it was only the first year that really had any issues (electrical, if I'm not mistaken).
 
lol my explorer has major electrical issues and is over 1000 to repair, I don't think its worth it since its old and not very much reliable anymore.

Well not really, but some reason stateauto said it would be higher with all the repair costs.

Well that's dumb because civics, camrys, carollas, etc... are as common now as comparable domestics used to be. I doubt they're any more expensive. You might consider shopping around for other insurance as well.
 
Get up very early in the morning, take a shower, then while the towel is still wrapped around your head, go to the dealer and offer $4000, on a $10,000 Camry. If you stay all day, not taking no for an answer, you will get the car. Works everydamntime. 😉

Stop telling people to buy a fuckus! If you do, it will fuckyou 😉

The only time one should buy one of those, is when they are new, at an extremely low price, and low or no interest, or certified, with a warranty. Believe me, you'll need the warranty.
