Hi. I just got finished with that very thing a couple of weeks ago. What you want to do it weigh quality vs price. Ive found that either German (VW etc) or Japanise (Honda, Toyota etc) are usually the best quality for the price. I just purchased a 2000 Toyota Camry for $8,999 and love it. It gets good fuel economy, the payments are about $275 mo and insurance is dirt cheap. Also, dont just jump on the first thing that looks like a good deal. If its a good deal today it will be a good deal tomorow. Look at several different dealers and find out which one has the BEST car for the BEST price. It took me about 2 weeks to find mine. You can also use these websites as a refference as to how much a car you are looking at is selling for in your area:

Good luck and you can always PM me if you have questions. Muff #5048
