save your $$$$$$$$$$$$$, don't buy one, how have you been getting around, they're not worth it, the gas (bu$h's oil mafia), insurance especially @ your age, & the up keepHow much are second hand coached?
Sure. First of all you have to have a budget. Because you are not just buying a car. You have to think about annual taxes (I don't know your state laws), registration, insurance, maintenance, and fuel expenses. The brands you mentioned are all good. I would personally persude you away from a sports car till you build up a good driving record. Take your car to the dealership for regular maintenace such as oil changes and manufactuer reccomended service to keep it reliable. If you are worried about your car breaking down, you can get membership at an auto club like the AAA. They offer towing assistance, jump start, and key lockout opening. Obviously you should have your cell phone so you can call for help. These are the basics, if you have more questions, let me know. My community college offers a course on basic car maintence for the totally newbie so consider taking a course..Good LuckWhat would be the average price of a 2-3 yr old Maruti Alto or Hyundai Santro car in good condition?
Ok, check the following:Who can help me ,about cars .thanks very much !?
1. Find out from the insurance company what make of car would be the most affordable(Say for instance a vw car is most likely to get stolen statistically, that would not be a better option)

2. Find out from the insurance company what year model and color would be most affordable(I know it sounds wierd, but the color does make a difference, for instance a black car is most likely to get into an accident, because it is much harder to see, or a rare color could get stolen, or black scratches easily. White is the best, as it is the easiest color to get, if you need repainting, etc.)

3. Try to shop around first, don't settle for the first car that interests you. Look out for good deals.
4. When buying a car, check the following: service history, chassis no or VIN no is valid, car is registered, accident free history, outstanding traffic fines, get a mechanic to do a inspection on the engine's condition.

Of those cars you listed, the Scion would be the best choice for reliability, and the Volvo may be second.
Questions about someone taking over payments on my vehicle??
You can start by going to autotrader.com and find cars you are interested in, sorted by make, model, year, price, location etc. Many cars listed on these site also include the VIN (vehilcle identification number) of the vehicle. Then go to carfax.com and spend the $24.95 to look up vehicles using the VIN number. You will have 30 days of unlimited access to use this resourse. This is a wealth of information by telling the vehicle history, like:1. How many owners, complete with dates and milage.
2. Where the vehicle has been licensed.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in accidents.
4. Any flood damaged adjustment. etc.
Lawrence KS Automobile Dealers?
One or two owners of the vehicle is preferrable, any more than that you might want to look for something else.
After you find one that you are seriously considering buying, take it for a test drive and then to a mechanic and have them look it over real good. Have them list everything they find that may need to be fixed or replaced. (if the problems are not major, then you can use it to negotiate a lower price with the owner). Always remember, the owner is "wanting" to sell it. (they have various reasons and ask them why)?
Hope this helps, and good luck in your vehicle purchase!!
What is better a 2007 nissan maxima SE or a 2007 honda accord EX-L?
P.S. One answer on here said not to buy a Ford Taurus or Mecury Sable. I own two Tauruses: 1. 1988 model with 200,000 miles on it. 2. 1998 model with 118,000 miles. Have owned both since new and the 98 model has needed nothing except routine maintenance. So do some homework and be careful what you hear.
