Car Search
I have begun searching for a car. The thing is though, I'm buying USED. On my salary, I don't think I can afford new, especially if it's going to take 5 years to pay off.
My mom rode in the car with me, willingly, for the first time in 10 years yesterday. We went to a Hyundai dealership and tried things out. They were really interested on pushing a 2008 onto us, but it would still have been a bit much. (They even called me when I was in Kohls and encouraged me to come back in.)
Then today we went to Drum Hill and tested a Ford Focus. I haven't driven a Ford since those first days when Mom took me and the Taurus to the parking lot of Shawsheen Tech and had me drive. It wasn't bad. I tried a 2008 and a 2007. The 2008 was impressive but out of our range, and there were some quirky things with the '07 that somewhat turned me off.
Last night and today I did research online, so we'll be headed to Woburn Foreign Motors tomorrow night armed with some of the printouts I have of two Elantras that will (hopefully!) be there. They're both under $10k and they are both under 50k miles, one's a 2006 and one's a 2007 so I'm hoping to get a good deal on either.
For all my readers: Do you drive a Ford Focus and how do you like it?
