I'm probably going to be buying whatever I get from Carmax, actually. There are two locations here, so lots of choice. And decent prices, too. Plus, no haggling! Yay!
instead of having to fork the whole price over at once, so that might help financially
I would actually prefer to fork over the whole thing at once (I have the money to do that and still live off my stipend and savings if I get something not too expensive), but I also need to start building more credit than one tiny credit card gives me, so I'll probably do half or a little less than half down and pay off the rest over time.
I'm looking more at Accords, but Civics as well. The Civic gets better mileage, but honestly, I'm not going to be driving that much over the next two years (who knows what after that will bring, though), and I don't want to be constantly chugging sloooowly up hills with a tiny engine. *g* I'll need to test drive both first and see if there's an appreciable difference in power. Also, Toyotas and Nissans are apparently very reliable, which is good...they're on my list as well.
Gah, cars. So, are you going to be shopping for one next year because you're moving out of Chicago...?
