Buying my first car?

I want to buy my first used car with my Tax return and wanted to know if anyone can tell me where to look for a car?

-Im working with a lil less than $2000

-I live in Chicago

-I dont want to finance/ Loan

Buying my first car?

I have a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera that I bought a year and a half ago for $1000 and I%26#039;ve put about 10k miles on it.

Over the years, the public has set the Accord/Camry on a really high pedestal (not for any especially good reason), and so they cost alot more to buy used than they should. I would suggest a 1995-1996 Cutlass Ciera or a 1995-2000 Buick Century (which was the same as the Olds in %26#039;95 and %26#039;96).

Pros:

Very Reliable

Comfortable

Good gas mileage(I got 29 mpg on highway, with the AC on and going 85 mph)

Cost thousands less than Accord/Camry w/ same mileage and year

Safe

REALLY cheap insurance(mine%26#039;s $400/yr, I am a 16 year old male)

Just about the easiest cars to work on, with the cheapest and easiest to find parts.

Cons

They aren%26#039;t exciting. They aren%26#039;t slow, but many would find them boring

But I%26#039;m happy with mine. Great car.

My advice as to where you can find such a car: Craigslist.

And as they will always tell you, get a mechanic you trust to look at it. That is the most important part of the whole process.

Good luck.
