Re: Used Car Info Needed - Please Help

[Guest guest]

Hi. I was in a car accident yesterday and the

insurance company does not hold good things for my

car. So, I am fine physically, but the car (a great

Plymouth) needs to be replaced.

A used one is best for us right now. I looked up a

lot on reliability, which is important. This car will

need to be around for the next 3-4 years. We will

need to carry 1-2 kids (and their stuff), as well as

two small pets from time to time.

Does anyone have any experience with the following

cars? Please offer any and all input to help me make

a decision. What you liked, did not like, wish you

had known, cost to upkeep & repair, etc.

Thanks for your input! I appreciate it.

I work for a car dealership in Chicopee, MA. If you want reliable and safe

stick with Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, or Toyota Camry. You

can find those in your area, in your price range by going to www.vehix.com

www.cars.com www.car.com www.autotrader.com . A honda or Toyota

Certified is even better as far as warranties go but they are within 5 years

old and have to meet certain criteria and you pay a little more for them.

You can find those on www.Honda.com and www.toyota.com . Whenever and

wherever you buy a used car ask for the dealership to run a carfax on it and

if you buy from a private party you can pay to run a carfax on the car. The

mark-up on used cars can be as high as $2500 so remember that when trying to

get a deal. Sometimes you have to leave the dealership and let them call

you back to get the best deal. If you have any other questions feel free to

email me at tinkerbellsw@.... You can also find used cars on the

websites of dealerships in your area.

I have a 1996 Toyota Camry and a 2002 Chevy Tahoe (leather, Onstar,

heated seats, third row seats etc) and I love the CAMRY by far better

than the Tahoe! I just wish it had ONSTAR! I hope the next new car I

get (CAMRY) will have ONSTAR by that time. No fear of locking the baby

in the car anymore! lol
