Need advice...

[falias]

So I have about $15,000 to spend on a car, and I'm not sure what to get. I'm considering a Civic or Accord DX, but I'm not sure. It has to be a brand new car. Also, when's the best time to buy, when are the dealership sales? Thanks for the help. :thumbsup::sun:

First of all, don't buy it immediately.. finance it.

If he wants to pay it all right away, is it cheaper?

Not necessarily. For example, if he has some high interest rate debt outstanding, he's better off financing the car at a lower rate and using the cash to pay off the higher rate debt.

why does it have to be a new car?

Well, if I'm getting 0% apr then I'll finace, otherwise it's upfront.

Well, it's still possible with my budget, and it's a pretty good looking car (the only problem with the new accord sedans is they have a really fugly back) but becuase this is a new line of cars I'm not sure about it's long term endurance. I've had my 92 accord since it was a new car 12 years ago and it still runs great.

eh, the scion is a toyota. it will run forever just like the hondas you're looking at.

i'm not sure, but the mini might be in your price range...

ok it's better to get a higher model civic then a lower modem accord. WHY would you get a bone base empty DX when you can have a civic fully equipped? Well unless you want to. Think of it this way... would you like to get a 1 room apartment in manhatten, or a 3 story house in staten island?

If we're comparing, I would be comapring the Civic LX to the Accord DX. Well the Accord is more powerful and bigger. I suppose the Civic lookes better. The Accord is about $1000 less.

No A/C is standard with power doors and cd player and stuff. Me thinks the LX is a bit too much for not that big of a difference.

meh

DX used to have nothing at all. I guess it's a good idea to get Accord DX after all. I am not seeing too much difference in DX and LX here.
