Thinking about buying my mom a car...help me pick one!

[FreshPrince]

hmm..found an '03 Mustang with 9K miles for $14K :Q

maybe I should get that and give mom my '01 camery 😛

I bet your mom will be happy with a Camry.

ya, but how fun would it be if I showed her the candy apple red mustang 😀

$14k will almost buy a brand new Camry/Accord. I know my dad bought out '01 for $14k. Only thing was it has a 5-speed. I'd check the loss-leader ads. You'd be shocked at what's in there (I know I am).

Unless the Mustang is a GT with 5-speed manual transmission, stick with the Camry.

I'd get a slightly used car

As far as moms go, I'll just say that my mom likes her 2003 Civic LX, and chose that over a Corolla after driving both.

Her price was right around $14,000 for a 5 speed.

Scion.

Well my mother wants to buy herself a new car in a few months but asked me what to get. She did say it should be sporty looking but still be practical.

Mazda 3 says I!

She looks at it online and at local Mazda dealer and says "I like it, this is what I want" 🙂

The Mazda3 would be a nice pick for sure. I'd prefer that over a Camry. Ask her what she thinks of it. Maybe mom wants something with good looks and some zoom zoom 😉 🙂

I kinda like the Civic ... so i'd say civic ... plus i wouldn't see my mom in a mazda 3 or 6 ....
If you don't like the Civic, i'd suggest the elantra ... good car for the money.
Now if you don't like that, well you could try to get a good deal on an Accord.

why did that thought never occur to me?


YES! get the Scion! xB, your mum will love you more! 😛 🙂

(no, seriously, Scion is a good choice, but it depends on your mum if she would like something that radical and hip)

What do you guys think about an '03 Dodge Intrepid ES?
