What year is it? 102K miles is on the upper end, but not excessive for a Toyota. Had one that went 180k before I sold it and it was still going pretty good with only minor problems.I found what seems like a nice Rav4 with 102k on it. For my price range of 11 G's is 102k too much for even a toyota car?
Also, let's say I get a mechanic to come with me to check out the car. I know it's def warranted that I pay him for his time, if he's not a close family friend. How much should I pay?
Ask the seller to take it to the mechanic instead. Chances are you'll have to look at 2-4 cars before finding one. Make sure to take it for a test drive first too. Nothing like buying a car that's not comfortable from the start.I kinda do need a car these days. Not really just for NYC but I might be moving out of it soon.
Anymore people got advice?
Peeped a Lexus IS300 that the seller says "Runs Great".
I feel like all sellers on Craigslist say that. Would a mechanic know if I brought him?
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.
OP, if you don't want to go luxury. Get a Camry or Accord. They look okay and are very cheap to maintain.

I got an accord and it looks wayy better then just "okay" lol

Fam, its still an accord. They are the definition of "okay" cars. Sit down.
