New Car?
I want a new car.
Yes. Indeed.
Although it can be exciting wondering whether or not my current car is going to completely shut down while I'm driving out of UNLV's parking garage. Or trying to decipher what new liquid is leaking out of it this week.
Problem is, I'm broke.
I've never bought a car and made payments on it before. So, I really have no clue what I'm looking for.
I found this one car that I think is pretty nifty, though.
The Mazda 3 2007.. or something like that. I like the style and the size of it.
From most websites I look at, it seems like this car would be around $18,000-$20,000. Although, I have no clue if that's complete crap or if there would be billions of extra fees from the dealership.
I went to Edmunds.com and selected this car. Automatic. With a Moonroof and 6 disc CD changer. And the price came out as $18,328. (The site had me put in my zip code and whatnot to get prices in my area)
That seems like a decent price. So I dunno if that means that the car is total crap or maybe just the website is where I got the price from. Consumer Reports had a little check mark next to this car saying that it was "recommended" but I'm not gona pay 20 bucks or whatever a month to read their whole report. Anyone have any clue about this car?
I just want something that's a little more roomy than mine, but one that's not a huge boat. I wanna start taking more road trips to Cali or whatever so a slightly more comfortable car that's not a gas guzzler would be better.
I was also curious as to what my monthly payments would be on this car too. I know it depends on a few factors like how much of a down payment you put, your credit, when you buy the car, where you but it from, and whatever else. I was just lookin for a rough estimate, though. If I put $2,000 or so down. And if my credit should be pretty good (I've always made my credit card payments on time and I've never gone over on my card.) So, any clues as to what the monthly payments might possibly be for the car?
I'm asuming the bast way to figure all of this out would be to go to a dealership. But I really don't wanna. Especially considering this wouldn't be happening for another couple months anyways.
