Default buying a new car is tough

I test drove and checked out dozens of cars, tomorrow is go time. I can get a 03 cavilier for 8400 after 2599 down and trade in..or i can get a lancer for 9k with the same as above. Then the echo is around 10k. I deliever pizzas for a living, the cavilier is by far the fastest and funest to drive. The lancer is pretty decent everywhere and the ehco is good on gas and is a toyota. So what do you guys think?

Ask taylor at Secret Services.. he used to work for a salvage company, he told me that EVERY SINGLE J-body that was in an accident (which a cavaler is) that he had to salvage had blood marks in it, and nobody had survived...

Also look at JD power and associates.. the cars are crap. you'd be better off with a freakin 70's MG or something.... Dont get the cavaler, its a rolling coffin

My vote is for the Echo.

They are all rolling death traps, but the Toyota will definately have the best build quality, reliability, and probably is safer than the others.

Cavalier = complete shite
Lancer = slightly less shite
Echo = smallest amount of shite

try the honda civic, or if youre worried about gas, that hybrid car that gets like 60 mpg. honestly. IMHO all those cars are enourmous pieces of crap.

Yeah, like GM and Ford don't try to hide their vehicle defects from the public.

Riiiight . . .

Why do I get the feeling that the car on your 'homepage' is not yours and TR has gained yet another poseur.

This information can be traced through the N.T.S.B.
Quality is what is precieved by the general public

Figure mass numbers. Imports and domestics can both be reliable and can both be shitty. For this application, an import could be very practical, in the sense of safety, RESALE VALUE, and gas milage. Try looking up recall numbers, see how many WERE NOT ANNOUNCED from ANY american car company.

Way to turn yet another thread into ignorant domestic driver giving the rest of us a bad name :thumbdown:
