Cheap Car Suggestions?

[NewSc2]

I'm looking to lease a new (or very slightly used) car, and my budget is about $1000 down, and $200/month (hopefully less than)

Can I even find new cars at this price?

Buy a used car, so you don't take the initial depreciation hit when you drive it off the lot.

Obviously get something reliable as well.

Don't have enough money right now to buy, only lease~

I don't think financing for 19 year olds is very agreeable

 

[RossMAN]

I'm not sure if they'd lease to a 19 year old unless you make A LOT of $ or have a co-signer.

If you go with a brand new KIA then you'll have money left over with your budget!

I don't understand how cheap they make and sell those cars. They're Korean i think.

just build your own. It can't be any harder than building a computer

i'd go with a new elantra

there are a lot of rebates and good fiancing options.

yeah, you can easily get a kit for around $200-$300 from a Hobby Shop...

get an olderish nissan.

i bought my 98 200sx se-r with 50k miles for 5k ..

It's good for 200+k miles.. and powerful to boot

insurance blows though

Get a Saturn Ion or Sunfire. They have $4000 off and maybe 0.0%, not including what you can get the dealer to drop off also. So that should bring it down to the $200 a month range and they both have the Eco motor.

Get a several year old Toyota or Honda.

Isn't Ford doing some kind of Red Carpet lease on Mustangs and Rangers for $200 a month?

I heard Brazil has a really nice Ford EcoSport for $11,300. Nicely equipped. Sure beats any hid-range SUV around here. Soooo, you can spend ~$200 to get to a decent city with a Ford dealership, and take an awesome road trip through the columbian jungle back to America!!

I don't think that en ecosport is going to make it through Panama and Columbia's Darien Jungle
