I plan to buy a brand new car in 1 to 2 months. A neighbor told me to do research on Internet and then do tot he dealer and ask to talk with the fleet manager and tell what I want and be doen with it.
I prefer to spend time resraching on internet instead of listening to the sale people but I am very uneducated about buying a new car. All the car I bought were used ones and this friend or that friend (whoever was availablre) helped me out each time.
Now, I am in a new city with no friends and also I want to have the experience buying one with my own knowledge. I would appreciate if I can get some guidance here.
I want a 4-door Sedan (prefer 2006 over 2005) with the following:
(0) My price range must be between 15,000 - 23,000 for total expense involed in bring the car home, exclusing getting the car insurance. (1) Basic when it comes to engine, i.e no high performance that will cost extra but I do orefer a car that can speed up easily when it needs to; automatic transmission; front wheel drive unless 4 wheel drive is not to much more expensive. (2) Wants electrically-controlled windows; (3) Car seat that has heater built-in (sorry for not knowing the correct term); remove this feature if it's over my price range (4) Separate A/C and heater controlled for driver and front seat passengers; willing to remove this feature if the price goes over my price range (5) Only mandatory air bags.
BTW, what's the differenc between Toyota Camry and Camry Solara?
