Hello guys,
I'm looking at a used car. I was originally looking at Honda, Toyota, Hyundai. I went into carsense (carsense.com) and they suggested a kia (i'm looking at reliable/safe/cheap to upkeep,automatic, good fuel, in the 2000s (2003-2006 preferably i guess) and i'd be nice if it's alright in snow just "for those bad days"). I ruled out honda becuase i only really want to spend 10-14k total (14k being my max preferably). What would you guys suggest? Right now i'm looking at a toyota corolla for 2006 toyota corolla with 32k miles and $13,500 or a Kia rio 2008 for $10,000 with less than 15k miles. I was reading about them and corolla seems the obvious safety winner. Otherwise kia seems to have stepped up to the plate and gotten better (cause i've been reading a lot of crap on kia over the last few days). I plan on getting this from a dealer so i can finance it so i can get some credit (i'm 21 years of age) with my mom co-signing, and i can afford either (if i did my math right haha.
Suggestions, or things i should keep in mind? (i live in Pennslyvania in Bucks County (Philadelphia suburbs).
Thanks,
Qua Sar
