What kind of car should I get(financially)?
Hello all, I'm currently a college student looking for a car. I'm not spoiled(hell I just got my license last year, even though I knew how to drive; long story), so I'm just looking for a reliable car, with at least a cd player, not a brand new shiny one. But, I do want it to look nice. I travel about 60 miles or more a day(back and forth from school and home). I know Honda's and Toyota's are some of the best choices, but I'm trying to get a cash car, so I don't have a monthly payment. And I honestly don't know where to start. I know the internet is a great source, but that only goes so far. I know if I buy a cash car, that it has to be checked by a mechanic and I need the Carfax report. But can anybody recommend some reliable used car dealerships in Atlanta, GA? And what kind of cars do you all think I can get?
Hyundai and Kia are known to be the most flexible in terms of payment. Therefor I would recommend the Elantra. The Elantra is made by Hyundai and is very reliable, safe, affordable, and efficient. The only things it does not have over the Civic and Corolla is a well-known brand and resale value.
In terms of getting a good price, I honestly think buying new would be better. When you buy new, your financing options are much larger, as well as the dealers ability to work with the MSRP. In Atlanta, the nearest Hyundai Dealer is Jim Ellis Hyundai (805 Peachtree Industrial Blvd Atlanta, GA 30341 (770) 454-678) which seems to have very good reviews (http://www.dealerrater.com/dealer/Jim-Ellis-Hyundai-review-20307/) and I guarantee they will be able to give a great price considering todays economy.
Here is the Website for the Elantra:

Ps. You may want to include an exact price range next time
good luck
