i also see people that change their cars like every year... how do you get that ?

Answer 1

I got Nissan Altima last month. There are no sunroof or leather seats and no spoiler as well. But it is running fantastic and it is brand new, and it was 18 thousand plus change out the gates of dealership. I also was looking at Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The actual reason why I picked Nissan Altima – Insurance. I’ve obtained multiple quotes on all three here: http://www.wisepages.com/money/insurance

And Nissan Altima came out the cheapest one in combination of Insurance and actual car cost.

Answer 2

One of my friends asked me this kind of questions before,I found helpful here.http://car-insurance.bestips.info/car-in...

Answer 3

Under $20,000 you can get a Honda Civic with leather and a sunroof and probably a spoiler. Just so you know a spoiler isnt gonna do anything for the car other than looks and creat more drag on the car.

Answer 4

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE!!

Answer 5

Thats too much car for a 17 year old.  Considered getting something used and inexpensive and save your money for college or other things such as maybe your first house. You'll be glad you did.

If you want to change cars frequently then try leasing.  If you keep a car for only three years then its cheaper to lease.

Answer 6

I wouldn't buy a new car. It seems great at the time, but you are going to wreck it. Not a statement about your driving... everybody wrecks their first car.

Also, insurance rates would be higher.

As for which to get first, I would contact an insurance agent and set the process in motion. They can give you quotes on what your rates would be for different car models. You should certainly get that info on any car you are looking to buy - before you buy it.
