i do like your idea. it is our responsibility to save the environment. though we buy the car costing fuel and may contaminating the air,we also can do some other way to save it.like planting trees and flowers. thanks

first of all you should know your budget. when you find a car that fits your budget specially when buying second hand cars you should check the engine first, since you have no idea about cars better yet bring a mechanic to check the car better. if the engine is still in good condition check the exterior and the interior of the car, although for me if there are minor repairs on the exterior its fine with me because its much easier and cheaper to fix than a really bad engine condition.

Really, the best tip that someone can give when it comes to buying a car is that you should not buy a brand new car just because as soon as you drive off the lot with a brand new car, the value of it depriciates a lot immediately. You are much better off to buy a car that is a couple of years old because that means that someone else has taken the immediate hit on the depreciation on a car. Other than that, checking out Consumer Reports is another great tip.

yes,you said is right. In that way,it would really save quite a lot of money in affording a car. i would also use that saved money to have an extra travelling or do some other meaningful things.
But owning a new car is actually different, different feelings , especially,having the first car. Thanks anyway dorannmwin for your good idea.
will you add me as a new friend? thanks

I think the most concern is not the price but the value of the car. When i bought my car, at first i want to go for cheaper one. But when i tried my current car, i knew that i must chose the car because of the value such as comfortable,the power, and etc. My suggestion is you can spot few model first, then go for test drive. I believe you will know which model you prefer.

I knew that some people would highly recommend you to bring a mechanic to take a look it with you. But it sounds pretty easy. If you don't know any mechanic, and your friends are none of the mechanic, who you gonna chaperon with you. It is all depend on your luck, mister.
The most concern me about buying a car is would this car last long, or would this car soon be recalled like those Toyota?
