I am looking to purchase a car. I need a 5 speed hatchback with great gas mileage. I have narrowed my search to two cars, the Ford Focus or the VW Golf.

I can get a 2003 Ford Focus for about $6000. For the same price, I can get a 1996 VW Golf.

In your opinion, what would you get, the older VW or the newer Ford. Do you own either of the cars? What do you base your opinion on?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Just lost my job and have 14 months left on my car lease. I've been told I have no choice but to make the monthly payments or face a stiff penalty if I terminate the lease.

Any other options?

Why I know its probably impossible I was just wondering how I turned out. I traded an 06 Corolla S for a 2005 scion tc. I was massively upside down for about 6000 on the Corolla and owed 19,000. I wanted lower payments. They gave me 14,000 for my trade (according to kbb.com the trade is only 12,425), the suggested retail is 16,165 for the Corolla. On the Scion the the suggested retail is 19, 475. Did I do the right thing?

By the way my loan was extended another 2 years on the scion but I figure the car books for more than the loan so I should be in good shape right?

Also my payments went from 470/mo to 405/mo

Thanks for the replies

I'm in the market for a used car, probably 1998 Honda Civic. Considering its age, what kind of mileage should I be expecting? Should I not worry about it, and just (attempt to) assess the condition of the car? Maybe I should try and find someone to go with me who knows something about cars...

I bought a car on ebay and the car location is in a different state. I didn't realize that I have to pay state tax on top of the car value once I brought it to my state in order to register the car.

Could I get in trouble if I stated that the car value was less than what I actually paid? By the way, i bought it from a car dealer.

To my understanding, if I had bought it from another person, I could just say whatever value I wanted to. But I can't do the same if I bought it from a dealer.

Thanks for the help!

After buying a used car from a garage, the service history was missing despite the car being advertised with full servivce history,I have been back to the garage on several occasions but each time I am told they are chasing it. It is now 5 weeks since purchasing the car and there is only 3 months warrantry, What is the legal position? Clearly the car advertisement was misleading if the garage does not provide the service history.

I'm trying to find data on the top volume dealerships by state, particularly in Nevada and California. For example Towbin Dodge in Nevada claims to be the biggest dealership in the country. Where can this be proven and how many cars did they sell. Somewhere the dmv should have this info available.

This is my first time negotiating for a used car. I'm looking at a 1995 car w/ 121K miles. Edmunds.com says the car is worth $2025. The dealer started at $3900. I started at $2000 and stopped @ $2300. The dealer came down to $2900. I zipped up my coat and left.


It seems that my cash is no good. They'd rather have someone come in and finance the car for $2900 for the rest of her life--so long as the monthly note isn't too bad.

What advice would you have for:
1. dealing with the aforementioned dealer, and
2. what might I have done wrong and how do I get a better start with a new dealer?

One question that I haven't figured out how to respond to. It's one of the first that they ask, "cash or financing?" It feels like I'm sunk as soon as I honestly respond, "cash."

I paid cash for a car from New Orleans right before the hurricane. They told me that I was going to have to pay sales tax in Mississipi and Alabama so I didnt pay it. I never paid tag or sales tax for it. Now Im going to try and sell it. What do I need to do? Is there a way to get out of the taxes now? I already signed the bill of sale and title but never paid for it to be transfered to my name. The tax and tag are gonna cost me like 1500 bucks!!! AHHHH!

in todays society where car sales is regulated to the hilt people still believe that they are being ripped off. yet with a dealership you get a car that has been inspected to ensure good working order, they have limits on how much they can charge you for the car, and most of what they do is actually regulated by banks. so please share your stories on how you feel you got ripped off.

I am 21 years old and with little credit

I went down to the Ford lot and found a 2005 Ford Focus (26,000)for $10,900. When I was talking about the payments, I asked them what is the total price of the car (with fianancing) and he refused to give me it, he would try to tell me how much I am saving from the actual car payment (not interest).

Finally, when I got to the signing of payment and contract, It read (on the computer screen) that I would be paying around 21,000 (the car and interest) and that my interest rate was 19%. I told them that I would have to talk with my dad, and I needed a printout of all the financal information, they said they couldnt print anything out. They just printed the amount of the car and how much I was saving from the Kelly Blue Book value.

When I talk with my friends, they told me this normal, however I found this rediculous amount to pay for a car. Can someone please tell me: should I go back or not.
