SO CONFUSED HELP!!!!!! SHOULD I TAKE OUT A LOAN FOR A CAR??? COULD I POSSIBLY GET A DECENT CAR FOR $2000?

Melissa Lavallie: I WOULD GET A LOAN FOR ANOTHER 2000. YOU CAN FIND A DESCENT CAR FOR 4K OR UNDER. YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY TO CHANGE FLUIDS, MAINTAINENCE,ETC. FIND ONE WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES AND IT WILL SURELY LAST YOU AT LEAST 2 YEARS. A NEWER HONDA ACCORD WOULD BE A GOOD CAR FOR A FIRST TIME DRIVER. MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE ALL THE FLUIDS WHEN YOU GET THE CAR. TRANSMISSION FLUID AND OIL. CHECK THE BELTS ALSO. MAINTAINENCE IS KEY TO KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION. MAKE SURE IT HAS GOOD TIRES, AND IS INSPECTED ALSO. PEOPLE ARE DESPERITE TO SELL, SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. ALWAYS TRY TO GET THEM TO LOWER THE PRICE. EVERYONE STARTS HIGH WITH THEIR STARTING PRICES. IF YOU PURCHASE A CAR FOR UNDER 2K, BY THE TIME 2 YEARS PASS, YOU WILL PROBABLY PUT ANOTHER 2K INTO IT. LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. AND THE CAR WOULDNT BE WORTH MUCH AFTER THE TWO YEARS. IF YOU BY A 4K CAR, AT LEAST IN TWO YEARS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET 2K OUT OF THE CAR. PLUS ITS USE. THE 4K CAR IS DE! FINATELY A WISER CHOICE, IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. GOOD LUCK....Show more

Patrick Bitsui: Forget the loan since no lender is giving money to anyone without a strong credit history. Buy the cheap car for under 2k but have a mechanic inspect it before buying. If something goes wrong bring it to that mechanic for repairs. If you buy a car for under 2k and it needs 500 repair is a lot better than taking out a loan and paying 500 a year just in interest. New cars have mechanical problems also. Cars today run for 200k miles and more

Lorine Helwick: definatley definately do not get a brand new car, putting insurance alone on a brand new car is outrageous...i got a brand new truck right out of hs...it's paid off now, i'm 21, but i still have 1200 dollar insurance every year and i don't have a single traffic vioulation on my record, get a used car make sure you get it checked out by a mechanic bcz no matter how nice the car dealer he's no mechanic he doesn't know if t! he vehicle is good or not...

Nia Monopoli: find a used c! ar and pay cash, you are right; make sure you have a mechanic check out any car you want to buy BEFORE you buy it....a used car is way better than taking out a loan to buy one, with a loan you will have to have full coverage insurance, paying cash, you can have just PL/PD insurance.....now is the best time...people are selling everything they own
