Looking to buy a new car....

[Mr_Mark]

I have been hearing about alot of people picking up great deals at auctions, anyone ever had any experience there?? are the deals really that good??

maxima's is the way to go

Skoal, I agree with you that Nissan is the way to go but not Maxima...

Get a 370Z...

I was just at one of these auctions recently... they are usually for dealers only....

the prices were good... but not overwhelmingly great or anything like that.

I would look at eBay if you are looking at used. Someone who sells a lot of cars won't want to sell you a lemon as the negative feedback really does affect them.

My 2 cents...

Due to rebates and other great offers, there is NO WAY that i would purchase anything but a BRAND NEW CAR at this time. You get 100,000 mile warranties so you know that you wont have any trouble for the first 4-5 years

bought a 1999 Honda Civic DX ... 90K on it from an auto auction for 2200. was in good shape except for the AC which I put 500$ into to fix and also it needed a radiator 300$ ... car is worth about 4900 from what people tell me


auctions are a good place if you know what your looking for

NEW cars from dealers are a waste of money you pay and pay and pay once you drive off the lot you drop a ton of value right there on the car... its not the way to go anymore save the 400$ a month for 5 yrs payments on a new car you would have and put it in savings

You would be hard pressed to be further from reality. A vehicle like the one bought by Dante is about as cheap as one can get around.

If you insist on the reliability of a "new" vecicle, buy a 2 or 3 year old vehicle with 20 or 30 thousand miles at an auction. Any dealer will represent you for 200 or 300 dollars.

Best luck.
