Buying a NEW car

Who had had bought a new car? What were experiences like? Any problems before or afterwards? Any finance problems long term wise? Is it a wise purchase?

So many damn questions. My journal entry/Link in my sig has the link to the car I'm hoping to buy by TOMORROW. Any advice could be appreciated.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Basically I boil my need for THIS car down to this: I won't see any new great economical car LESS than 15k with such a cute little body again.

How can I go wrong with this car?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Believe me I did my homework at edmunds.com. They charged like 1300 dollars for the extra packages into that car. Base price was like 12k new. And yeah that's one thing I should had thought about that, even the yaris is cheaper but that shouldn't exclude it from NEW manufactuer type of mistakes (HELLO 360s).

I just naturally assume that Toyotas are just guaranteed good reliable cars no matter what. I'd know... my car is '88 v6 toyota camry.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah I heard that Echo and the Yaris has a real slow response time when pulling out. Possibly that's why its not well liked by friends. I suppose seasoned drivers would already became accostumed to the car's slow response time.

I'm OKAY with that actually. I kinda drive like a grandma.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm... okay. The plan as followed:

Plan A: If the car I currently does start after jumping it, we're assuming dead battery. We purchase the battery and postpone the new car purchase later.

Plan B: If the car doesn't, I'll call ahead to our employers for references on credit unions and call them or possibly visit them first to get a credit quote. If we got a very good quote that net us 200 dollars a month car payment (if that's possible...), we'll get that car I wanted.

Plan C: If the credit union couldn't possibly quote us a very good quote, well... we'll ask around (mechanics) for any used cars and go from there. Rules apply: It HAS to be a small body or my parking situation is just not any better at all. :\ It has to be BETTER than the one I currently own. OBVIOUSLY.

Plan D: Of course, when all fails, we fix the car. Bleh. 600 something just for the heater core and leaking power fluids. I dunno if its worth that since it has extensive water damage inside the interior. But either way, if it runs or not, I could just huff it to work for a while. Walking is good for your health right? :\
