  1. There's just no way you would get a good car with $500
  2. and how reliable is it? (give rating 1 for very unreliable and 10 for very reliable)
  3. I'm >25 B) I'm keeping a few grand in a savings account for emergencies
  4. I'm actually gonna keep the cash in my savings account for it to accrue interest and spend only $15,000 for the car. (or should I pay $5000 deposit and borrow only $10,000?). For that amount of money I'll be sure to get it checked comprehensively.
  5. I'm buying my first car, probably will be a Corolla and have about $7000 cash to spend. Even a Corolla, it's going to be too old (I'm worried about repair and servicing costs). I'm thinking of getting a car loan (~$15,000) so I can get a newer Corolla. What do you think? edit: the newer Corollas also have better safety features (ABS, airbags, etc)
  6. What's your Camry model & year and How much per year you spend on maintenance costs?
  7. Hello everyone I'm really interested to buy a Corolla because of its legendary reliability, especially for old used ones, as my budget is only around ~$5000, but I consider car safety to be important too. My question is, where can I found out since which year Corollas are equipped with airbags/which particular model are equipped? I did try some googling but couldn't found any info.
  8. interesting article from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatchback#Hat...n_North_America Hatchbacks were popular for smaller vehicles in the U.S. and Canada during the fuel crises of the 1970s due to their practicality and convenience, but many customers, especially Americans, preferred trunks to hatches. Conventional wisdom is that Americans have always found the styling of trunked cars more elegant and dignified than that of hatchbacks, and that they bought hatchbacks during times of high fuel costs because they had to. The poor quality and basic nature of many hatchbacks also gave them a reputation for cheapness - driving a hatchback was a proclamation to the world that you were too poor to buy a regular car. So, as hatchbacks grew in popularity in Europe in the 1990s, they declined in popularity in North America in that same period.
  9. Which one has the better handling?
  10. I'm looking around for a used Corolla atm. I personally like the sedan body type but most of the Corollas that I see on the used car websites are in hatchback/liftback. What's the difference in terms of handling?
  11. I'm deciding between Corolla and Celica for my first car, $5000 budget. I prefer Celica because I like the sporty look (heh aren't we car drivers vain? :)) Which one has the cheaper running cost? I'm guessing it's the Corolla?
  12. I'm doing research to buy my first car (Corolla, budget <=$5000). When searching through used car websites, some have the Corollas with the standard 15" wheel, and some have been modified with 17" wheel. Having a tight budget and knowing that 17" tyres would cost more to replace -- in your own experience what's the advantage of driving with the bigger wheel?
