what is the best vehicle for under 20K?

[ZKaudio]

stay away from a jetta... my last 3 gf's have had them and they have all had less than 80k on them and are FALLING APART. AC didn't work on 2 of the 3 either... pos's.

Honda isnt offering any rebates, even on the '04's. However, dealers may be dropping below MSRP to get rid of this year's models.



AAP if you can find an '04 Accord Coupe EX on a lot somewhere that a dealer is willing to move for under 20K you need to jump on that! that's a little over 2K below MSRP.

I used the word "rebates" in the broad sense. Actually it's dealer holdbacks, and yes they can be bought for 20k...........or you can buy one from me with 14k miles for $17,900.

I like the Jaguar S type - used maybe a 2002 for that sort of cash

Sweet....if you have a line on 02' S Types for 20k or under with good miles...let me know......I'll take 50.

Is scion made BY toyota or made FOR toyota by another company?

Made BY Toyota. The xA and xB are mechanically identical to the Toyota Echo; the tC is not directly based on any Toyota model available in the USA, but its engine and other components did come straight from the Toyota parts bin.

You ship to Canada?

BTW, 04's are mostly gone where I'm at.

2005 Scion tC hands down.

Aap, you can expect the same reliability from scion as you would from toyota. Scion is toyota's "youth" label.

I might buy a used one pretty soon.

Well then, what corners did Toyota cut to make it so cheap? I mean, 15K base is a low price.

 

[Mr. dB]

The Scion tC is a "girl car." I'd much rather have a Civic Si hatch, even though it's a "kiddie car."

Can an SVT Focus be had for $20K? Or a leftover 2004 Mustang GT?

AAP, what are you looking for in a car? Do you just want basic transportation, a "transport appliance", or something with some style and performance? Do you care about room? Or fuel economy? Or dignity? Are you more of a sedan guy, or a coupe guy?

Wow, i've never seen the scion tc before. That's a cool assed car. And to be that cheap. Impressive. I've only seen the really boxy one, which I actually thought was pretty cool itself.
