buying a "new" used Car.. A few questions...

[hzsogood 5,000+ posts]

Well after a few yrs of waiting to pull the trigger on a new civic, Im pretty annoyed that I myself am not a fan of the new body style so Im gonna go with an 8th gen... Im gonna be putting on a ton of miles in the city and need something with great mileage and reliability, and I always come back to looking at the civics... You guys all know what we SHOULD pay for these cars, and Ive been looking at a few CPO civics in my area.. Tell me if you guys think this is a deal, or its to hi.. There is only so much I can get off looking on NADA or KBB ..

KBB should be your best friend man... save it and use it, For looking up values and for reading reviews... typicaly you can tell if there is a major problem thats common within the first 20 pages...

I do.. but KBB CPO price is like $18,700!!! Hard to believe a dealer would have a CPO car on the lot for around $4500 below retail .. Ive been on there and NADA ( which is 16,500 retail ) so the numbers are all over the place

I would .. But I just cant do it man.. The looks are just not for me... You have to buy something you like, but the only hybrid I think is alright looking is the Fusion... Although I wouldnt throw away a CR-z //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Probably 1/2 down and a 2 yr loan... Since the credit bureaus go back 2 yrs , it will be another good mark on my credit

If the only place you can find what you want is at a dealer, then I gotta go to the dealer

notes on a vehicle are a backwards step in todays economy...Id buy something cheap just to avoid having a note...then save up to pay cash for a nicer vehicles...that is part of whats wrong wth America today....people want what they can't afford to pay cash for
