Hello I am looking into buying my first car, probably on craigslist or something. How do I know what to look for so I don't get ripped off?

How do I know what cars are good and what cars are shit? I am looking to spend around $1400-$2000

I literally know nothing about cars, don't need anything fancy just nothing super gay.

For that price range, you're pretty limited.

Look for;

>Honda Civic
>Honda Accord
>Ford Focus
>Toyota Corolla

Those are my suggestions. I find plenty of those in the sub $2k range and they're usually great beater cars for cheap-os.

Subsequently, you could also post your local craigslist and we'll find you something.

Can you drive a manual car?
Is your budget taking taxes, title, and registration in mind?
Does your state have yearly state inspections?

>>17046689
Don't use craigslist

Get a used Honda fit at the dealer.

Can't drive manual. Would like to include registration in budget for total around $2200. I don't know what a car title fee is.

>Does your state have yearly state inspections
no

^Tell the dude $1k an no more. Shit aint worth nearly 2k.

https://dubuque.craigslist.org/cto/6051285671.html

Those are my suggestions based on what I see. Remember; Cash is king. On the ones asking $2k, offer $1500 cash. Usually will get them to budge.

There IS something I would suggest no matter what car you buy. Read the fucking owners manual. It will tell you how to use some features, but it will tell you what maintenance needs to be done at what mileage. It can also save your ass in a jam.

For example. Went to the movies back in December with 2 friends in one of my friend's 2004 Chrysler Concorde (comfy as FUCK btw). We got back and it wouldn't start, only crank. She got out the owners manual and read. Owners manual said to crank the car with the gas pedal floored for 30 seconds, twice, then to start it normally. It worked, car fired right up afterwards and we got back on the road with no other issues. But the owners manual will be filled with solutions to quirks like that.

Wanna know what oil you should use in your engine?
owners manual.

Wanna know how often you should change the oil in your engine?
owners manual

Wanna know when to replace the timing belt if the engine has one?
owners manual.

There's a LOT of useful fucking info there and 99% of people ignore it. Not every car is the same.

Only for real men

Don't forget to negotiate where needed. But you're spending less than $2k, you're not getting a perfect car.
