Ok, so I have been saving money back here and there for another car. We only have a truck right now. With us owning the roofing company and me recently taking on managing a pest control co. it's extremely difficult with 1 vehicle. Today I found a 96' Chevy Cavalier for $3000. It has 116k on it. They want $600 down and $250/month. Dh is not wanting me to buy this car. Instead, he wants me to buy a car for like $600-$800 cash so we can own it outright, free and clear.
Here's my argument:
Most (if not all) cars for that price are junk. Something's wrong with it for them to be selling the car that cheap. Perfect example: We looked at a 94 Probe today for $700. It was horrible. The hood wouldn't shut completely and the sales guy said because the battery was too big
it had a huge dent in the rear panel.The gas door wouldn't open by the switch. You have to pry it open
. The rearview mirror was missing, and the driver's side blinker was about to fall out from the body and it was blowing smoke. Reggie wanted me to buy it!
I said no and walked away. My kids will be in it for gods sake!
So I think it would be better to go ahead and finance one that is a GOOD running car and even though it is $3000, they give a warranty that as long as it's financed, they fix anything for free, you just pay for the parts.
Help me win this argument!
