I run a business in the UK supplying all different new cars but what US ones should I consider. I need a cheap new run around under $20,000. I was thinking a JEEP COMPASS, DODGE NITRO or a car I am more familiar with VW GOLF GTI.
Any suggestions please, and once I am settled I will be looking for a performance car under $50,000 must be convertible.
Are the prices listed on manufacturers websites negotiable in Florida like they are in the UK?

The person who thinks it would be more expensive to live in florida than the uk must be crazy! You must live in Wales or someplace where property looks like a Romanian orphanage. We are doing over with cash and my business is staying here and I am operating it from over there. Cost of living in London is ridiculous, I pay congestion charge every day get taxed 40% of my earnings live in a small 3 bedroom house that I paid £500,000 for thats nearly $1,000,000!

Prices are negotiable on most vehicles. The hottest lines right now are Toyota and Honda. You probably won't have much negotiating room on them -- and a few even sell at a premium such as the Toyota Prius.
Give a second thought on the Nitro. It's a new line and Daimler-Chrysler doesn't have a very good quality record over all and even worse with new models.
Golfs are now sold as Rabbits (again) on this side of the pond. Dumb name. Jettas are doing well, but they're pricey.
For under $20k, check out a Honda Civic to get you started. Dead reliable and cheap to operate. Then decide what you want to do once you get settled and get familiar with what's available here.

You can look for new prices in yahoo autos, or cars.com or msn autos, or just google it. Prices are highly negotiable, so get a local to go to buy with you.
Dodge Nitro is a cool car, Compass too. WV in the USA in expensive and not reliable, and you can only go to the dealership for repairs.
There are a lot of good american cars.
Comvertible, Saturn and Pontiac have good ones or a Mustang.

Why do you want to move to florida? Sure it looks nice, but it cost a bomb to live there. You will need health insurance, its not free in the U.S., You will get fed up the Very Hot sunny still days, the food is junk in the U.S.. and very bad for you. Everyone is very fat, and if you say one word out of line, thats it. Every only wants to know you only for your money. You will need to make at least 100,000 a year to live in florida without any big problems. Do you have any children, if so, why would you put them through this move!! and take them away from their friends! I take it you are in the Car bussiness, you dont stand a chance with the big boys in the U.S. why would you chance your bussiness in the UK.? Its very possible you will lose everything if you do this, its NOT EASY I tell you. Your going into hot water. I have known 8 people that moved to florida, everyone of those people are now back in the UK. Including myself, I lived there for 17 years with my parents and my sister, we are back b/c of the bad situation in the U.S. right now. We have been back for two years now, and we are very happy in the UK. Dont do it. The Grass is always green on the other side, use good jugement on this one!
