Whatup God's.
So as crazy as this sounds. I'm buying a car for the first time. I never really got a chance to do so before and I think the time is right. NYC public transporation has served me well and has given me many stories to tell but the time is ripe to experience some road rage.
So here's my situation:
- $11,000 limit on a car, def not balling like some of you's but with my other expenses it's as much as I can give right now
- Looking for a used car
- Looking for a reliable car despite mileage (looking at Toyota's, Subaru's, Lexus', Honda's)
- Preferably looking at an AWD, automatic car to help me out with these NYC winters.
I have no clue what's what when stepping into a dealership.
Right now I've been looking through Autotrader.com and Carguru's.com.
What I need help on:
- What is the best way to get a used car for a good deal? Negotiate on a used car by telling them I'm going to buy straight up?
- What websites should I use when going through this process? Carguru's, kellybluebook, ???
- How do I negotiate?
- WHAT THE **** am I looking for to know the car really runs good?
As you can see, your boy needs help. I got a couple mechanic friends, but i'd still like to be informed as much as possible.
Help your man's out.
Appreciated.
