Long time lurker, first time twerker, so go easy. Looking at getting a small, economical auto hatch-back for my wife (e.g. Honda Jazz, Mazda 2, Hyundai Getz, etc) and was going to go down the used car path but saw a few end of year sales ads and thought I'd get some advice on the following issues based on your experience/s:
1) Is the convenience and ease of a new car worth the depreciation and extra outlay? (My first couple of forays into suburban used car expeditions have been a real pain and I think I am weary of some of the shifty dropkicks you have to deal with).
2) Anybody got any feedback on any particular makes and models in that small hatch market that they consider best value?
3) Anybody got any advice on trying to squeeze any more out of a new car deal in these kind of sales? For example, Honda Jazzes are advertised at 17,990 but could I wrangle another grand or more out of that, and if so, what's the game plan?
4) Any other things worth advising.
Thanks in advance.
Go and test drive some
Why would you spend upwards of twenty THOUSAND dollars, without seeing if they….
a) are comfortable
b) look nice/feel nice
c) are fun (if that's your thing)
d) DO WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO………………only you know what you want, and you have told us nothing about what you want it to do/do with it………
