I Want to Buy a Car But…
November 4th, 2009
When I was in college, one of the things that I wanted is a nice ride. I promised myself that a car would be one of my goals by the time I work. In fact, it’s on the top three of my list of goals.
Later on however, reality struck me. Life isn’t as simple as it is. I only have limited source of income so my priorities have changed, and at this point in time, I can say that I have learned a lot in handling my finances. I still want (not need) a car, but it’s no longer a priority. If given the chance though, I don’t see myself driving an expensive vehicle and later on have a hard time looking for Ferrari parts or other items. Just a simple but nice car will do. For now, my eyes are focused on a Santa Fe. But then again, my toy has to wait a little longer.

Please pay no mind to the guy that said to get a manual transmission…. In the NYC area those are a real pain driving in traffic…. get an automatic transmission vehicle.. Just stick with the usual advice most people give. Have a mechanic look over any car that catches your fancy…. If you mean like $1000 price range cheap then dont even bother with a carfax.. Buy a car no one wants to steal — Really, No kidding! Forget the Civics, Camrys and especialy Corrolas.. etc…. Get a used american car with plain steel wheels and NO fancy stereo, no tinted windows, no stickers that say what type of cheesy performance products it has…. The New York Area isnt a zoo like it was in the early 70′s but you should still get a boring looking car……. I have bought sold, given Chevy cavaliers to my kids and havent had any problems with them beyond regular maintainance and fender benders…….. Post a Wanted Note on the church bulletin board or at the local retirement community you need a car for your college kid…. I have bought a few cars that way and you dont get some car thats been pounded on by some obnoxious kid…. Ford Focuses, Cavaliers, Pontiac Sunbirds, Saturns or any 4 cylinder engine cars — I bought one of my kids a Neon from this church lady and over 4 years all he had to do was maintainance and a set of tires, brakes, and 2 struts…… I do suggest no matter what car he gets you GET A FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE AND and make sure the jack is working properly. Streets in the New York Area are poorly maintained. When I worked down there I wondered why I saw cars with oversize tires on them (No not like a monster truck) but probably 1 or 2 sizes larger than normal…. I got a clue it was becasue some streets are quite crappy… If the tires on whatever car you buy are old / weak looking or worn get a quality replacement set….. Good Luck!
