Car Buying Stuff

Aug 14, 2003 17:52

We interrupt our regularly scheduled travelogue to seek the following advice.

I am planning on purchasing a car soon. I am looking for an economy vehicle. I have always driven Toyota Corollas but am dismayed but the "light" feeling of the car when driving. I am looking for something similar but perhaps a bit heavier.

Cars I am looking at:

1. Toyota Corolla
2. Toyota Camrey
3. Mazda Protege
4. Volkswagon Jetta (which seems a bit out of my price range)
5. Honda Accord

I would love any tips re the following:

1. Suggestions for buying a car; what to look for, what not to.
2. Anecdotal stories about any cars you have liked or disliked and why
3. How to you determine what you should actually pay; the blue book value or the true market value? How do you determine?
4. Any other things that you think are important.

Thanks so much.

We return to our travelogue soon.
