my 2nd car I bought for $700; 85 Camry back in 96. 275k miles; returned from my Navy A-School and drove it out to California. back in the pre-cell phone days, I can't believe I made that trip alone lol.
but yeah as someone mentioned, the cash for clunkers killed a good used car market.

Just something with a bucket that will handle a bush hog. BIL called yesterday and found a JD 750 for $3600 that has Bob Dole's attention. Bob Dole is going to defer to said BIL's trained JD mechanic expertise and 25+ years of farming experience to select the correct tool. Bob Dole doesn't know shit about tractors.

5 years ago...I found a 98 Mazda 626 with 190k for $1350. Drove it everyday until 2 months ago. It died. Immediately replaced it with a 2000 Eclipse, 175k...that was hit on every corner except Metcalf and 75th st. Looks great from 10 feet, drives out nice. $2000.00. I hope the Eclipse lasts as good as the Mazda! In both cases...I had to kiss a few frogs..... And I am a trained professional!
I could have kept to a budget of $1500 easily, with a little time, but I don't believe it would have looked as good from 10 feet away!(and I do plan to be dating...a decent car is a must!) |

No car yet. I picked her up from work and took her home last night. As far as buying a $1500 car, she says she has $200 in her checking so thats not an option. I know the BHPH car lots are a terrible option (generally) but it might be the only option this woman has left.

I consider rock bottom to be the point where you realize your actions are responsible for the mess you are in and you have the internal growth that allows you to change your bad choices and start crawling out of the hole you created.
In her mind, she just keeps having bad luck and none of it is her fault.

I'm afraid you are likely correct.

probably a last resort.
but if she absolutely must/can, stay the F away from the dealership there off of Bannister road...can't remember the name. I've read VERY bad reviews of that place.

What do car sales have to do with this woman being a lazy miserable pos and a drag on society and her kids? Or did you miss my point? |
