Hi guys, thought i would try to get some opinons on car shopping since its my first time. Currently have a budget of 20k... just sold my old 94 accord. So peeps that have been on this journey of buying a new car.. what would u advise a first timer. I'm contemplating if i should buy a nice used car or just go all out brand new. so i guess a few ?'s i have is what is a decent amount of mileage on a used car. So far i have been lookin at a used 2006 civic si which i beileve was 18-19k. Still searching for a wrx in the 20k range.. would love to have AWD in chicago winter weather... appreciate the help..

If well maintained, any mileage on a honda will be fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Not like you're gonna see someone selling a 91 w/ 300k miles for $20k.

I say buy a landcruiser though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

evo's are junkness imo.. Get a sturdy car,, Look at a Honda accord. I love those cars.. With 20k you would be able to get a 2006 super charged monte carlo
