I'm in the market for a new car. can anyone recommend any websites for research on price, features etc. I'm going to stick to the imported cars for now (toyota, honda etc). also, any general suggestions on cars and features are also appreciated. it's been almost 10 years since we bought a car. Thanks. > I'm in the market for a new car. can anyone recommend any websites for > research on price, features etc. I'm going to stick to the imported > cars for now (toyota, honda etc). also, any general suggestions on > cars and features are also appreciated. it's been almost 10 years > since we bought a car.

Good point to note for a used car though. Thanks. > Also you really want to get a carfacts report on the one you get, make > sure it's had no "shady" accident's > Amanda I believe it's "carfax". Not trying to nitpick, but only want to give the right information if she wants to use it.

Thanks. It would help to know what your needs are. A couple of car seats? Booster seats? Do you haul sports stuff around .. ski equipment, bikes, etc. How many does it need to seat? Will you use bio fuel? Is bio fuel accessible in your area? Will you be pulling a camper, trailer, etc. Do you need stowable seats for non human cargo? Do you need a place for pets? Will you be parking on the street, in a garage? Inner city or country or the burb's? How many years will you use this car, will you pass it along to your kids or DH/W when you buy your next one? Before you look for a car, decide what your needs are ... you will get a much better 'fit' that way. I bought a new car almost 2 yrs ago .. and I still love it. However I can tell as my kids are getting older and I'm hauling around many kids and not just my own ... it's not going to be long until I get another car and DH gets this one to drive back and forth to work. That was the plan, so far it's working well for us. > <janes...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > gets this one to drive back and forth to work.

I think they are mid size). any sites you can recommend where I can get pricing on various options and their worthiness etc? > mid size passenger car (camry, accord etc..

So is the Nissan Maxima. My friend is also very happy with her Nissan Altima hybrid. As for sites? I find Consumer Reports to be pretty sound information. You can borrow issues at the library. That can also get you a general price however once you figure out what you want, the best way to bargain is either in person or work several dealers at once over the phone. My husband buys a new car every three years or so and once he knows what he wants he just starts calling dealers all over and works them against each other until he gets what he wants. Never buy a car at the beginning of the month. Do all your research at the beginning of the month and start going into/calling dealers mid-month. If you wait toward the end of the month, the salespeople know what they have to do to hit their numbers for their quotas. Also, don't ever buy the car on your first visit to the dealer. Don't ever be afraid to walk out. HTH JennP.

Thanks. When I was shopping for a new car I found a website that delivers auto quotes to your email address from all the local dealerships. It saved me some time.
