$17,000 on Which CAR?

Question

ive got 17k to spend on a different car. do i buy a new scion tc or go with a used infiniti g35 coupe? is it worth it to get a new car knowing its history and having a warranty or going with a better used car that could have problems?

Answer 1

Pontiac G6 Hard Top Convertable... *purrs*

Answer 2

Go for the G35 If you have the money to spend on maintenance and things when its time too. I never had problems with mine, but scheduled services cost a lot of money. HID/Xenon headlight went out once, just one bulb, and i believe it cost about $300. Crazyness. But its a great car, drives great, got really good performance, and still is luxurious.

i don't really like the tC, and the 2 people i know who have one don't like it either. It's sluggish and isn't that comfortable to drive around in long distance. We were gonna get a tC for my younger bro, but for such a small car its gas mileage sucks and its not comfortable, so we went with a Civic.

Answer 3

GO WITH A NEW VEHICLE. Scion is great because it is made by Toyota which means it should be reliable. No need to inherit someone elses problem when you can avoid it. I would guess that if the g35 is from 05-08 it has quite a few miles on it. I would check carfacts before going with the g35, but a new car is a better investment. Hope this helps a bit!

Answer 4

Maruti 800 LPG

Answer 5

Go with the one that offers...

Best Warranty..you never can be to sure what might go wrong even if it is a new car.

The best gas mileage.

The cheapest coverage for insurance coverage.  Some insurance companies give you dirrerent rates based on a car's safety rating.

Depending on how long you plan on keeping it, the cost of future repairs, ect...

Answer 6

Pretty easy answer you just answered yourself.

You'll actually be spending more on the car with "problems" then if you purchased something newer.

And why go with just those two choices, check out other cars too.

Answer 7

You'd be much better off going new. Try a Scion xB. very funky styling, awesome high-tech interior, enormous backseat, 2.4L 158 HP 4-cyl engine (same engine as the tC's!), and 28 MPG highway. Awesome car. And the best part: it's well equipped at $16,270. Check it out!

Answer 8

well id look at mialage and gas effecincy i havent looked at those two cars spacifically but those are the two things i wold look for in todays market

P.S.- I'd go with the new Scion TC

Answer 9

Got a new Honda CR-V

Answer 10

BMW!!!

Answer 11

go to the dealer .... don't let them know how much you have to spend. Test drive test drive test drive ... the only way you'll really know. Go online and do some research too =) But the TC has had some great reviews and great test drive ratings too.

Answer 12

Infinitis are typically really good cars, and have great reliability. The G35 is a great car, and I'm sure you'll love it (my cousin had one, and he liked it more than the M3 he got for his 18th birthday). And if you want to be sure, get a carfax history report on the car by getting the VIN from the owner/dealer, and checking the carfax website on it. It might help your decision.

But I say G35 all the way. It's a great car, and you'll love it.
