Any ideas for a good first car? And where to look for them?

Question

For a teen

Answer 1

um ok well i would suggest a toyota prius there expennsive to buy but you will be saving sooo much money over gas and since your a teen im sure you like to go out with freinds allot and if you dont like prius i think yu should still get a toyota cuz there greatly built pretty cheap and great gas milege so yah go on there website im sure you will  be pleased

Answer 2

HONDA! civic! look at a dealership. or find someone in like the newspaper or something, but usually the dealerships will give you a good warranty. hondas are reliable and great gas mileage!!!

Answer 3

I would probably check Craigslist, E-Bay, and possibly the newspaper.  I would think that Craigslist and E-bay would provide pictures so that you won't be fooled by a person trying to sell you a p.o.c. without you knowing about it, compared to a newspaper add.  If it is for a teen, I wouldn't buy something expensive for fear of some damage by some mistakes(depending on the kid of course).  I would suggest something not too fancy but not too crummy. This way your kid will not be embarressed by what he is pulling up to school in and think (that his parents taught him) good virtues that he needs to work in life and nice things won't be handed to him/her.  As for cars, it is your choice of price range.

good luck with finding the car

Answer 4

newspaper, private sales..... Stay away from too much of an investment, for a first car anyway. Some kids will crash, and damage their cars, others will take care of them........

Answer 5

I would prefer Honda or Toyota.

I guess you should also check insurance quotes for the car before buying one, for example here: http://carinsurance.enacre.net

First time drivers usually have much higher rates than others. And it depends from car.
