Re: Car advice...

I think a civic and colbalt would be too small...

DH is a big guy.... and we are looking for something that can fit the 3 of us, and all the babys cr@p in...since currently we take my car everywhere, and are racking up the miles...

DH wants a new camry- he went to sunrise toyota yesterday, and said the salesmen were jerks...

all the cars that everyone has mentioned are great but I doubt you will be ale to get any of them for low 200/month. Most of them will run you in the high 200s and even into the 300s.

Saturn? I think with the amount you are putting down, you'd be close to getting a VUE. I love my VUE! Although, it is basic.

Re: Car advice...

I would have to say for you to look into KIA or Hyundai. Danielle and I leased a 2006 Kia Sportage LX V6 4Wd from Kia in Hicksville. We put down $2200 and pay $199 a month for 2 years. They are always running some type of special. The new Kia Optima just came out, and they may have some left overs or maybe some deals on the new one.

Also the Hyundai Sonata is a really nice car....They redesigned it for 2006 and it got an excellent review...I would go check that one out too.

Well I recently got a brand new altima... I put 2k down and got a payment of 189/month.... but I got a great deal...


I told him to look into the sonata..... I think it would be perfect....

Re: Car advice...

Dodge Caliber is nice & you can definitely get a decent lease price. You can build your car & price it at dodge.com if you want to see what you can get before going to a dealership.

Re: Car advice...

saw a commercial on tv last night...I'm pretty sure it was the Accord for $239 a month with $1,999 down!!!!

ETA I also saw a commercial for the Chevy Impala (NICE car and I'm pretty sure it's big enough for Big Ryan) in the price range you posted!

Good Luck!Chat Icon

My 1st choice would be a Jetta, the other choices I would go for is an Altima and Honda Accord.

Re: Car advice...

We've had the new jetta for almost exactly a year. we LOVE it.

ETA: it'sa lot roomier than the old Jetta.

FH's parents both have the sonata. It's pretty big, but they've had a lot of probs on the older one. I am NOT a hyundai fan
