Dearest the links went to the same site. My recommendation is to check up the scores on Consumer Reports so you're not likely to get a junker.

I'm going to try to get the Nissan.

Yeah, I'd suggest you check consumer reports too. Edmunds.com has decent car reviews as well.

I would NOT recommend the Pontiac, as my friend Mike's newer-used Pontiac just CAUGHT FIRE AND EXPLODED the other day in the parking lot of Chipotle. Apparently he had some kind of electrical system problem that caused a fire and spread to his fuel line.

So, unless you long to perish in a fireball, I'd go with the Nissan--provided its Carfax sheet is clean and it gets good consumer reviews.

I have never known anyone to recommend a Pontiac.

You'd get a better deal buying a car listed in the paper instead of going to the dealers. Getting a car from the dealers automatically adds about $4000 to the cost.

I'm betting with this bad economy you could get a repo car for dirt cheap, hardly even used.
