Can someone help us decide what car to buy?

Hi my name ins Jason and Im 18 years old and I've been driving for a few years now, not always legally but thats beside the point.  Now I'm getting to the point where I want, no I need to get my own car. Im tired of catching rides in the morning with my friends in their cool cars while they blast the music they like and drive how they like to drive and make all the sops they want to make.  I want to be in the driver seat.  Sometimes my dad lets me drive one of his old cars but not always.  My parents suggest that I finance a car.  I have a job and the small amount of credit history I have is pretty good.  I went to the bank and they told me that 10k is the realistic cap for me right now.  I want something at least semi reliable that will not murder me with insurance costs but is also sporty looking and "masculine".  I've never driven manual but I'm a really good driver so I don't think it would be a problem and I want to learn how anyways. Recommendations? I really really love older cars like Toyota supra Pontiac firebird and the corvettes but my dad told me the insurance would be way too much for something like that.  I would even buy a junk car near me in Atlanta from craigslist and fix it up.  I live in Atlanta close to midtown suggestions are would be really appreciated.

Hi I'm 17 years old and I'm hoping to become a first time car buyer soon.  I don't know really know much about cars.  I've been riding in them all my life of course but have never even changed a tire myself.  I don't want to lose my money so I need some help.  I don't want a new car.  Well I do want a new car I just cant afford one.  So I'm looking to get a used car off of Craigslist or Ebay or something.  I thought about going to a dealership and buying something cash but I don't want to pay dealer prices.  I don't know if this car is a good buy or not but I was looking at some Mazda Miata MX-5s and i'm really wanting one.  Most of them are between 2-4k which is affordable for me.  I know that saving up the money and buying it out right is the best and smartest thing to do but I need a car soon and it would take me way too long to save up 4k.  Should I be getting a Auto loan, a personal loan, some other kind of loan?  I would like to hear about others experiences with buying a car.

The holiday season is here and we are noticing a slow down in junk car selling.  Every year at this time peoples focus changes from cars to other things.  We understand so we take the opportunity to clean up and organize to get ready for the post holiday rush.  Even with it being slow were still buying some nice cars.  Yesterday we purchased and removed a 2010 BMW 5 series from a towing yard that was in a rear end collision.  The day before we bought a 2008 Toyota Tacoma with a bad transmission.  I can't wait to see whats to come next.  Happy Junking

Cash for Junk Cars Lithonia: I gotta get rid of 2001 Dodge Durango

I bought a 2001 Dodge Durango.  After driving it for a few months it started to overheat.  So had to carry a jug of water in my truck everywhere I went.  I thought oh no am I gonna have to call cash for junk cars Lithonia.  I was constantly inconvenienced by having to stop whenever the truck overheated and fill up the radiator with water.  Im a woman and its difficult to do that.  I don't like getting dirt and oil on my hands and clothes.  So I decided to get rid of it.  I figured I would go to CarMax and trade it in for a new car.  Silly me.  When I got to CarMax they checked the car and told me it was junk.  Not only did they tell me it was junk but they told me the miles had been rolled back.  The odometer says 151k miles but the AutoCheck revealed 217k miles as of October of last year.  So I contacted my lawyer and I'm taking this guy to court.  Anyway I've got to do something about this car so I did call cash for junk cars Lithonia.

Cash for Junk Cars Decatur: I bought a lemon from my co-worker

I just moved here from North Carolina, I gotta job and now I need a car.  I noticed an ad on the bulletin board at work for a 1999 Honda Civic.  It was reasonably priced at $1500 and Civics run pretty good and are good on gas.  I decided to check it out.  I met the lady at her house where the car was and test drove it.  It drove fine and I wanted it.  After she got the emissions done on it I went ahead and bought it from her.  Well, I drove the car for about 2 weeks when the check engine light came on.  I took the car into a shop.  The mechanic suggested that I call cash for junk cars Decatur or it would be $800 to fix some sensors.  They must of thought I was stupid.  I know it doesn't cost that much to repair a sensor.  That was just the beginning of my problems.  Next thing you know my temperature gauge starts to move up.  Yep, you guessed it started to overheat.  I didn't want to take it back to that shop or any shop in Decatur.  If I was back home I could take it to my usual mechanic and get a fair price.  I decided to call my mechanic.  He coached me in changing a couple of sensors but the last one was just too hard to get too.  He said I'd have to take it to a shop but should only take them about 10 minutes to change the sensor.  He said it was overheating because of the thermostat.  He told me what tools to buy and again coached me in changing the thermostat.  Now its not overheating but the check engine light is still on and its making a loud noise when it runs.  I decided to let it sit for a while until I could figure out how to get all this stuff fixed.  A few days later I went into the garage to try and start it and it wouldn't crank up.  Ok, I've had enough I want to get rid of this car.  I pulled up google on my phone and typed in cash for junk cars Decatur.

Cash for junk cars Norcross: What should I do about My 2000 Impala

My friend told me about a guy who sells cars on Craigslist.  Since I've bought 3 cars already on Craigslist that drove just fine, I was pretty confident that I could find a good deal.  So I searched this guys inventory and found a car that I liked,  a 2000 Chevy impala.  I went out there and test drove the car around a big office park, then I had my friend test drive it too cause I'm a girl and don't know much about cars and he said it seemed cool.  So I said great I want to buy it.  He was asking $1500 but I only had $900.  We haggled back and forth for a minute until he agreed to take my offer.  But as soon as we left and hit the highway the car started to overheat.  We quickly pulled over and called the guy to complain but of course it was too late we signed the title and he had my last $900.  So once I got to my parents house, my dad came out and told me the fans weren't working.  He told me not to drive it home or I could damage the engine, so I called a friend who drives a tow truck and he towed it to my house, so now I'm dead broke with no car.  DEAD BROKE.  I've been trying to borrow money from friends and family all week.  I'm a single mother with 3 boys and my lights are gonna be turned off tomorrow and if I don't come up with $60 by the end of the day all those jobs I applied too are gonna be calling a dial tone.   I've asked my entire family if I could borrow money.  My mom owes me $300 and says she cant help.  All my friends say their broke because its the first of the month and the rent is due.  The only thing I have of value is this 2000 Impala with broken fans and on top of that it wont pass emissions.  So I've resorted to calling cash for junk car companies in Norcross, to get a little cash back for this junk car I waisted my money on.  The offers I'm getting aren't close to what I spent on it.  I don't know if I should sell it or keep it.  I really need the money.  What do should I do? Sell to cash for junk cars Norcross or let my phone and lights go off until my child support check comes in the mail on the 15?
