Looking to buy a car

[riverrock]

The one thing I noticed and will never do again is this....Do not buy a car outside what you can afford to pay. In order to look the real deal a couple of years ago I bought a brand new Ford Focus. Not only am I still paying off for the MOFO, but will carry some of the balance over to my next car loan as well. Should just have pain cash for something a little older and been debt free. That would have allowed me to save. 5K will get you something decent anyhow
