Civic... Not chick magnets, but they're nice cars. [/ QUOTE ] I've been complemented on my blue 2004 Civic Sedan by multiple chicks. It's a beautiful, reliable car, and it makes me seem responsible.

Re: Buying used cars
my pops sells used cars (no he's not a sketchpad) - and when i was looking for a good used car he told me "if you don't get a honda or toyota i'll kick you in the nuts". if you can find a prelude that's not bagged to [censored] get that. if not, civics are pretty sweet (without all the asian decals) - corollas are good too. surprisingly, the ford focus is an alright car too.....anything else is a piece of [censored] or too expensive. if you get a cavalier i'll kick you in the nuts myself...

Re: Buying used cars
http://seattle.craigslist.org/car/ <--- check that every day and be prepared to make a ton of phone calls. KBB.com and eBay are also good resources to check how much cars are going for. Don't get a standard (manual) transmission if you're gonna be doing a lot of stop-and-go driving unless you love being annoyed.

Re: Buying used cars
only buy a used car from the owner of it that drives it. meet the person and you get a feeling for what you are buying. there are so many cars out there not to do this is foolish. that means no dealers.
go to kbb.com look up the private party price for your car. go from there.

Re: Buying used cars
If going for an older car and wanting good reliability and an engine that will last forever need to be looking at the german manufacturers a merc, BMW then Audi and Volkswagen. The Japanese makers are not far behind but dont tend to be quite as good a drive (probably with the exception of the Impreza and Evo).

Re: Buying used cars
didn't read thread.
if possible, use that carfax.com service (dunno if that's the exact name).. it has the complete history of the car and tells of any previous flood/fire/body/etc damage

My gf bought a vehicle privately a coupl a yrs ago. It literally broke in half driving down the road a while later - rusting of the frame. The thing just buckled.
