I need some advice. For graduation, my parents bought me a 2006 Suzuki Reno in 2007. It now currently has 45,000 miles on it and has a trade in of 00.
I have done the following work on it: Replaced the brakes, replaced the tires twice
I also get oil changes every 3,000 miles like they say to do. It is in excellent condition, however it is 4 year old.
It gets 19mpg city and 28 mpg highway
My husband, for now (I’m not sure how much longer) is a car salesman, and his dealership is having a sale on a 2010 Dodge Caliber which is normally 999 but is on sale for 999. With his discounts, a 00 down payment, and my trade in, I’m looking at an approximate 0 a month car payment.
This car gets 23mpg city and 32 mph highway.

My question for you is the following:
Should I run my Reno (no payments) until it’s dead and has no trade-in value, or should I take advantage of this great deal and get myself in a new car?

Please don’t say buy a new car. I know it is, but I’m comparing leasing new and buying used, certified pre owned not wheter to buy or lease a new car. Thanks.

i found ads for freelance sales on www.kicksexpress.com the other day. sales can earn commission when they sell out one item with his unique v-card. if i can sell 10 items a day, i will make 10xx30=00 per month. lol. what i am worried about is not the product or the service of this online store but the market i can open. How many ppl will buy new stuffs in this season of finance crisis?

I made a big mistake. I bought a new car and regret it and I don’t know the best way to correct what I did. To make a long story short,I couldn’t wait to pay off my car because I felt that was the answer to our financial situation. My car has been paid off for 2 months now. I bought my older son a car a few years ago but I had more money back then. My middle son has been waiting patiently for a car, he now has a job so he really needed a car. So, we ended buying me a new car and gave my old car to my son. I am very unhappy and mad at myself because I should have kept my car and bought my son a car when I could. I hate having a 2 door now, it is just not practical. I don’t want anyone to know what I did. I am very ashamed and embarrassed because it doesn’t make any sense to buy a car with financial struggles. I have let this consume me, I wake up every morning with a sick feeling in my stomach. I don’t want to live with this mistake that I made, I want to fix it. Any suggestions????

Okays, I am going to buy a new car, and I was just wondering if it was good to purchase the rust proof spray package. This package is where they spray the outside and bottom of your car to protect it from rusting. I live in Minnesota, so is this really worth purchasing for 700 dollars?

I guess my real question is, does it really work?
