Hi there, i am a recent graduate and I just got a new job at this firm so now i want to buy a car. To tell u the truth i really dont know what car to buy, there are so many outthere :dunno:. What cars do you guys recommend for a recent gradaute who doesnt have tons of $$$? i am looking for something average but nice looking, i am a guy btw. If you guys can give a bit of detail on the names and pricing of the best cars outthere for a recent grad that would be of a great help. thanks ;)

thats the thing i am having a bit of trouble with. The thing is i want to lease a car instead of buying, i am not sure what is a good leasing price.

domestic or import? are you sure you want to lease? i personally think there are too many limitations when you lease, plus your insurance rate is higher than if you were buying it

well currently i dont have the money to buy a car that is worth $15000-$20000 dollars. How high is the insurance rate with lease?

Are you in the states or in Canada? a $20000 car down there is $25000 - $30000 car here.

i'm not 100% sure what it will be, just call your insurance company. a leased vehicle requires full coverage, while if you bought it you can skimp out on some things.

Figure out how much you make on a monthly basis, take 20-25% of that and thats your maximum recommended lease.

You have to at least figure out the basics on your own. What type of transmission? What basic type of car (sedan, coupe)? Bigger car or smaller car?

something average, corolla comes to mind. very bland and average but built bullet proof.

For cheaper cars but with the same reliability try the echo/yaris and the fit and the versa.

Buy a Subaru WRX, There quick, turbo, AWD. Drive it all year, regular on gas.


Or ride the buss until you are higher up in the firm and then lease a Lancer Evo when they come out next year!

Get an automatic Yaris or Civic and call it a day. If you have no clue about anything, you can't go wrong with those.
