Well, I don't know your situation, if your into getting a used car or brand new from a car lot, but if I were you.. (And I was at one time) I learned from my sisters' mistake of buying a used car who had alot of trouble with it and kept having to repair it. I would go with a new car (like I did) and they last SOO much longer. As well as having manufactorers warranty and all that jazz. It saves on any maintence within the first three years. I even get free oil changes with my car as long as I keep the darn thing. LOL.

i would go new but i have a 5000 dollar budget and DEFINITELY dont want to finance anything. too young and too poor to commit to making a decade's worth of payments for a car that will depreciate exponentially before it is totally mine.

Toyota makes a GREAT truck


I love the 4 runners though

When I was young I had a black Mazda B2300 SE. Purty looking truck (single cab / 5 spd manual) that ran forever. It's still running now as I gave it to my dad when I bought a new car, those little engines will run forever and never had any problems with it.

It also depends on how much cash you have.

Well I had a Ford Ranger for several years matter of fact that was the only kind of trucks we had at work. I never had a problem with mine at all the only thing I would recommend if you do decide on a small truck is go for the extended cab. Mine was a single cab and I did not like that but we had the extended cab at work that was great.

Like any vehicle it all depends on how they were taken care of by the previous owner/ owners...

A good buddy has a Nissan Titan.. they are very nice and roomy.. plus its got the get up and go factor that he likes..

Just an FYI

I had a 4runner before my car now.. I loved it.. nice ride

Dude, I use to against foreign cars, but I have had my 1996 Toyota Camry v-6 for almost 6 1/2 years now, i did brake pads in it once & regular maintenance, all that car asks for is gas every 2 weeks, turn the key & go!!

Well, all I had for my 'new' car was $200 and an old '92 chevy lumina with RED INTERIOR... ugliest thing in the world. Haha. I did pretty well though. I think that liked buying new and my payments are less than 250 a month. So, it's not that bad. ANd besides, I bought that at 20. I'm almost 24 now. So, I was younger than you are now!
