What's An Affordable Used Car?

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

I know the answer to the question, when asked literally.

Now that the 0'12's are out; or are coming out; what is a good and/or affordable used car?

What's your definition of "affordable"?

What's your definition of "affordable"?

Under $20k

Under $20k

I believe you can get a brand new Camry for under $20K

Seriously?? "Brand new" as in 0'12, 0'11, or what?

HEEeeyyyy.....so what if it's a Dodge. I already own a Chrysler; but it's got over 180K miles on it. It still runs pretty good; but it's beginning to "nickel dime" me to death. Does great til I need parts.
Then, it's off to the dealership.

I told my Dad the other day that I saw an 0'11 Camaro. After a whole lot of 'I don't THINk so' rebuttal; Dad told me, 'it looks like you're gonna get a Camry.' I don't know if he was serious and already has something in mind, or not. I wouldn't thumb my nose at a Camry.

One of these would be okay.

I looked and Camry starts at $20k and higher. Here's a link on something else: 2012 Toyota Yaris

I just don't know how well one of those would do in a collision. To me, they look like "roller skates." I'd be the first one to the accident in one-a-those.

THIS 2011 Toyota Camry Solara I could handle.

And the last one out I'd bet.

One of my friends have one of those little car, and we tease her that it look like a big egg on wheels.

Another thing about those little bitty cars. Other'n a "whistle" when they go by, you can't tell they're running.

Take your pick. New 2011's from $17,900 to $19,900.

There ya go. A bit over 20, but you could talk'em down, owners are seeing well up into the +100 range with very few problems, and I can assure you, they do fantastic in a crash.

Alternatively, if thats too big, theres this......

Chrysler : Crossfire | eBay

Small inside, but its a Mercedes AMG under the skin, AMG handbuilt 330hp supercharged V6 under the hood, and again, would o quite well in a crash, Mercedes dont screw around......


Of course, if you are more the car as A-B appliance, then these make no sense But if you want every drive to be a blast.

It's a penny pinching thing. Sounds like a "sleeper."
