2010 Nissan Vera or 2006 Nissan Altima or something better?
I need to get a car. I am sort of stuck between two options. I want to spend around $10,000 + tax. I am open to other options just keep in mind me budget.
I could get a brand new base model (yeah crank windows and no ABS) Nissan Versa with a 10yr, 100,000 mile warranty (my local dealership offers the extended warranty on all of their cars). This is good because I won’t be having to worry too much about my car breaking. I would also get 0% financing. But I am not sure if this car is less safe than something bigger and less bare bone….
There is also a 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5S for sale with 51,000 miles on it for $10,500. I like that this car is bigger, and its an upgraded model, so it has ABS and more features. But its used, so I wouldn’t get the 0% financing.
I live in NY, so I do get snow.
I really need help with this I can’t handle cars! Help!
HELP HELP HELP!!
1. Buying a new car is a huge mistake.
2. Always buy used so that you don’t have to take the hit of depreciation.
3. Always buy used so that you can buy more car for the money.
4. Forget the Versa.
5. The Altima you mentioned is a ripoff.
6. Here are some examples of the Altimas you can get for $10,000 if you use your head and shop around:

These are just examples to give you and idea of the market. Notice how low the mileage is compare to yours?
7. Remember that the price can always be negotiated, so if you want to spend 10 grand, you can shop in the 11 grand range.
8. Buy a warranty. A good extended warranty from an actual Nissan dealership will be $1,000 to $1,500.
9. Shop around.
10. Do some test drives.
11. Don’t buy just any crap the dealer tries to sell you. You are the customer. You have the money. You have the power.
