Use the search or just go to the city of your choice and look.

You need to set a price frame to what your really wanting for your 1st car .... Look every where ask Many questions... Take someone with you that Knows cars... You can find great cars in the 2500 to 7500 so if your family is giving you the money you can save some for Servicing, updating, Tires, Wheels Stereo ETC.... Keep in mind insurance cost and what you plan to do with it... Test Drive every car if they will not let you test drive Walk away... Lift the hood Look at Oil, and coolant, look for oil leaks etc...
Look at different Cars and brands.... 5k to 10K is alot for your 1st car.... So remember the extra's.... Oil Changes tune-ups

Answer 2

if you have that kind of money put it in the bank and tell them u want it in a cd ( go to a bank that has the highest percentage)
next year, if you started out with 10,000 and put it in the bank with the 6%, youll end up with...
10600
i made some money doing that
P.S. there are other ways to make money with using the bank like that
(if you wait 2 years, you can make a lot more and then buy a new car or you can borrow just a little money from your parents)


or you can consider a used toyota or honda

Answer 3

go for a classic car man. Many which look and run well for under 10,000. 1990 trans ams are real nice and only cost like 4000 dollars. Anyway, check autotrader.com or collectorcartrader

Answer 4

Start with the classified ads in your local newspaper. You can also do a web search for autos in your area. Enter in your budget range and go from there.

Answer 5

save some more cash and buy a new car , when you buy a beater your only getting someone elses problem, if it is such a great car they wouldn't be selling it. The repair cost on a POS may be alot more in the long run.

also don't by a freinds car...

see if a grandparent will sell you theirs...

Answer 6

Look under your local neighborhood paper such as Pennysaver.

Answer 7
