Q: 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!!
A: 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.
Q: I’m a 16 yr old girl, and I need help with my Christmas list!?
I’m turning 16 the day after Christmas, so I’m as good as 16, and I have a lot of stuff down on my Christmas list already, but I feel like it’s still lacking. I already have a nice cell phone (and I don’t want a new one), an iPod (Classic, again I don’t want a new one), a cat, a digital camera (Mine’s really nice, I don’t need a new one), Uggs (many different kinds & colors), and my room got re-decorated last November, so there’s no need to update it. I have a few nice bags (Coach, Nine West, Dooney & Bourke, Burberry, Louis Vitton, ect.), so again I don’t need a new one. I go on vacation a lot. I run, play ice-hockey, snowboard (I’m getting a snowboard), and water ski.
I’m already asking for:
-Clothes (From: American Eagle/Aerie, Macy’s, Juicy, Pac Sun, Zumiez, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, ect.)
-A North Face (I already have one, but it’s getting a tad tight. Plus it’s one of the ones with a hood, and I’m not too fond of it.)
-Jewelry from Tiffany & Co., and Me & Ro
-A car (Nissan 370Z Rodester)
-Vera Bradley all in one wristlet
-A few seasons of SVU on DVD
Also, I live where it gets really, really cold in the winter. I already got a new coat and I’m asking for more scarves, gloves, and hats, but keep that in mind when you’re suggesting things!
Oh, and please no one say, “You have so much already, why can’t you be a good Christian and give back?!” Um, my family & I give thousands of dollars a year to Charity and we volunteer our time a lot.
I forgot to mention that I already have a laptop. I got it for Easter, so there’s no way my parents are going to get me a new one.
A: I think your list is long enough. Sometimes it’s nice to be surprised on Christmas morning with a gift that you didn’t ask for but that someone spent time picking out just for you.
