I feel I made the best choice buying this car new. The actual price was a little UNDER $13,000 and that included almost $5,000 in discounts (including my father's Class A Employee discount for families), All Taxes, Registration, even counting for 6 months of full coverage car insurance (not GMAC, another) going out the door. It's an awesome feeling to own it outright. Also I am single with no wife nor no children. (' Sure getting tired of the dating scene though- haha)
I am not very mechanically inclined, but I can troubleshoot and repair most common Wndows PC based problems, and DC electrical problems. But every time I buy a used car it ends up costing me MORE in repair bills than I can afford. If I was a mechanic type I would be more likely to buy a used car and fix the problems as I got them. Also the used car market is very very competitive here with the highest prices I have ever seen for used cars. I also love having such good warranties and free On Star and for a year, and free XM radio for a few months. Next comes the safety factor, for a small car this one has a great rating and has 6 to 8 airbags (I lost count). Not to mention many folks here must drive far for good paying jobs and good transportation is very important just to be offered a decent job in these parts. I even once had a boss insist on seeing my ride during a job interview because of so many previous employees missing work due to broke down cars!! A NEW CAR IS A BIG PLUS FOR ME. After all, it is paid off in full. I have already bought enough of other people's problems that I can not repair on my own.
