KiKaZz74 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 so my truck is a 1997 dodge dakota. its a bit of a gas hog. 200-250 miles per fill up. right now im working at menards averaging 40 hour weeks and making around $700-800 a check every other week. i wanna look for a new vehicle. or new to me anyways. my bank has repo vehicles and one is a 2010 Kia Forte SX Coupe. 105k miles. im assuming that is alot for the age. my truck is only at 140K. but they are asking $8500 for it. what do ppl think? any expierience with that car? it has some body damage but my uncle owns a body shop so he can easily fix it. thoughts? or what else could i look at? any tips on buying a first car? im guessing no more than 3 year loan if i have too. ill have around $500 a check to play with. insurance is paid for by parents for the most part for right now. but im just trying to save both of us some money. i like trucks and SUVs since i fit better seeing as i am 6' 4" and about 300#. so any suggestions? Id most likely keep truck for towing and hauling stuff unless i get a truck or SUV. so questions id like answered Thoughts on Car? Other vehicles? Tips? Length and Size of Loan? should i talk to someone at the bank about all this?

truthsayer Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I would go check out a used car auction. The vast majority of those are no reserve. You will be surprised at the deal you can get. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
