Buying & Selling - June 2007

My company has given me a $600/month car allowance. Would it be better to lease a new car for close to that amount or buy a car a couple of years old for around $400 per month. I do drive a lot of miles-20K+ and am somewhat hard on my cars. Thanks.

I mean, I think of how many new cars are probably made and even sold in one day, and sometimes I wonder if we're being way overcharged for new cars. What do you think? Does it really cost them $20,000 +++ to build them?

My friend and I are going to look for cars tomorrow. It's easy for me to do all the talking, since its not my money. But, what do you think we'll find in his price range? He's hoping for something with under 100,000 miles, automatic, 2000 or newer, and good on gas. I obviously told him he won't find all of this, and he'll have to make some compromise. Any tips?

Alright, so I've decided that I want a Toyota Yaris. I really like it because it's inexpensive, and it gets great gas mileage. I am a student paying for college, so I think that the car will be perfect for me. However, I've dealt with some extremely rude Toyota sales people the past few weeks. I know that a Yaris isn't an expensive car, but that's all I can afford. Whenever I tell them that I am looking for a Yaris, the response isn't exactly well...friendly.

I've gone to 3 toyota dealers and have had similar responses. The worst was last week when I had an actual appointment set up with someone to test drive one, and they ditched me and made me sit around for an hour b/c some guys came in and wanted a Seqouia. So rude.

I live in Southeastern Michigan, but wouldn't mind driving a little ways if it means that they'll treat me with respect.

Thanks for any help.

We bought it brand new in Ca. and was with a 10% apr.. We should have gotten a lower apr because we have great credit so we found a company to refinance it but is that really a good idea to refinance a car.. Our payment is currently 483 per month and would be nice to get a lower payment because I also just bought a truck but how does this work and what should I watch out for? Thanks for your help!

Kelly Blue book is horribly off about these sorts of things.

The car is a dark green GSR. Manual Trans, leather, sunroof, all the power stuff. It's also 115k and completely stock. The clutch is good and nothing on it is broken, worn or stained. Tires are new. It doesn't have so much as a chip in the paint.

I just have no idea what to ask for it and what I should be looking to get.

how long does the process take? are you better off selling it at auction? do they cut you a check for the difference?
