Rex Hudler Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) QUOTE(almagest @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) The Accord seems like a pretty good choice. I'm finding some nice ones in my price range. I was looking at a 2 door V6 Mercedes-Benz C320, which was a very nice car, but just thinking about the associated repair costs soon after purchase for a car with 56,000 miles on it makes me shudder. There's some excellent advice in this thread. Thanks everyone! Find cars with good service records. Not sure about your Benz, but I would confidently buy a Lexus or an Acura in that category. You can also buy an extended warranty to 100k if that makes you feel more at ease. And FWIW, I know a guy that has a auto repair shop. He works on 4 makes only and specializes in BMW's. Probably 80% of his repairs are BMW's. I will say this. He is as busy as he wants to be. There is never a shortage of business.

almagest Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Finally bought a car last week. Did a hell of a lot of research. Ended up getting a blue '08 Ford Focus SE coupe. I like small cars, and for the Focus restyle caught my attention. Glad I got it. Got it for invoice price + 2400 in rebates + free iphone. Price was like 13,800 on a ~17,000 car. McCarthy Ford on 114th and Pulaski seems to be a pretty solid dealer. Thanks for the advice everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
