Hi All.
I just got my P's earlier this year, i am 18.
So far, I've had two "shit" cars, i've owned a 1989 300zx z32 which has had an injector or two fail on me, rendering the car near-useless so i haven't driven it.
I then purchased a 2003 Subaru B4 twin turbo.. worst mistake of my life, so far i've spent about $3000 on the car, had 3 turbos fail on me while owning it, no mechanic can find out why and it's been taken to multiple of them.
Now, at the moment im sick to death of these cars just turning to shit on me, i never buy any 2nd hand electrical items for this reason, second hand stuff always is just horrible to me.
At the moment, i'm unsure on what to do for a car, i work and i earn about 40k/year after tax.
I have about 40k in the bank at the moment, and i am maybe looking at buying a 2015 Subaru Impreza from a dealership and financing it after downpaying around 10k on it.
I'm honestly not good with cars, and i would like to see if anyone would be more than happy to give me a few suggestions with on what to do, i would maybe be open to buy a second hand car.. again if it's newer such as 2009 +
Preferably Im looking into a sedan shape with leather interior.
Thanks
Will it be parked on the street 24/7?
Used cars can be a smart move especially if it is going to be left out on the street and you have just begun driving…
The thing is to pick the right used car.. and the right kind.
Even with new cars you can choose the wrong one and still end up with a pos.
What is most important to you… reliability and low cost of ownership or performance no matter what the cost?
