How can I find a good first car?

Answer by  thelostone (1457)

Any cheap car can be good. Just make sure to check it out. Check the radiator for signs of fuel in the coolant and check the oil for the opposite.

I would encourage you to get a friend that knows a thing or 2 about cars. Shop around, don't just pick the first car you find, and be competitive with your pricing.

It all depends on how much money you have exactly. If you are looking for a new car then a small fuel efficient one will mostly likely be the best bet. Although if you are looking for a used car then the newest car that is in your price range is a good choice.

It's hard to beat an import for price/dependability when properly maintained. Test drive local cars and have a friend or mechanic give it an inspection if you like it.

First I would take someone with you to help look over the car. Look for low miles, maybe an older person who is trying to get rid of their car.

You can go online and read about car specifications and car reviews. Check for the car's miles per gallon capacity so you can pick a car that doesn't chug on gas so you save money in the long run. Check for safety guidelines on the car. You should also look for car warranty how much insurance it will need.

First car need not be brand new car. If you have saved money with your hard work then ask your dad or elder brother or close relative first if they wish to sell you their car. This will give you best deal. No need to get showy car and buy small but well maintined, good condition car.

A delorship is a good place. Find a nice used certified car. These certified cars go through a process of inspection and reconditioning to ensure you get a high quality machine.
