Stay away from Kias :)..BUt check out Saturns, those our some good cars with affordable payments..They have all sorts just depends on what you want...But, I got by with a Saturn...It is still going ;)
ok... I don't know you, but trust me.. don't go for hyundais or kias.... they suck... actually don't go to anything except Japanese if you're lucky for a really good car for the value for low $$.. I just got a honda accord for $6500 on a 48 mo. contract for only $150 per month... get a loan at the bank instead of the dealership... you'll get a much better rate... and anything by toyota, honda, or mazda will be really good..
I like my VW Jetta. It's a 2000 and meets most of the criteria you are looking for, except that they tend to be on the expensive side. If you look at one, make sure the electric system has been checked over. The only major problem I've had was the spark plug cables burned out after only a few months.
since i'm currently doing this exact same thign for my g/f, i can assist. 0. do you want an auto? if you do, that will shorten your 10 yr. expectancy. 0.5. don't give me the 'i cant drive stick' crap, a blind monkey can drive stick 1. VWs are too $$$ and break. 2. Nissan - Sentra SE 00-02 will last you 10 years 3. Honda - any civic that meets your price expectancy and is only 2yrs olf max will suit your needs. 4. mazda - protege (preferably ES) will last you 10 years 5. Ford - focus, if and only if you for some reason need a domestic.
my preferece is the mazda, then the nissan.
the dealer is your bitch, remember that. he doesn't get paid unless you pay him. this means that you say $5, and if he laughs, you walk to the next guy in the place and start all over.
i'm sorry to say, but you are a pretty female, and therefore, they will try to take advantage of you. This is just a fact of life. the sooner you come to terms with it, the better off you are.
