Question

I have 4,500 to spend on a second car.

Please help!

I am looking for a 2nd car as a commuter.
I am looking to either buy a 1998 Acura Integra or a 2014 Chevy Spark LT1.

For the integra it cost $4,000 + tax & dealer fees with 135,000 miles and for the spark it cost 10,789 + tax and dealer fees and has 6,000 miles.

With the 1998 Integra I will own it out right and I won't have to have full coverage car insurance, but run the risk of dealing with car issues, however I have owned 2 of them in the past and I am completely capable of maintaining to Integra if I get it. I will also have to pay for the pre-purchase inspection at the Acura dealer ship. which is an extra $140.

With the 2014 spark I will put the money as a down payment, and I have an extremely slim chance of having to deal with car issues, but I will have to have full coverage insurance since part of it will be financed, which isn't a problem because I have always financed cars.

The reason I chose the 2 cars is because I familiar with the acura integra and both me and my wife like the chevy spark. She also likes the acura intergra because she used to have one.

My other vehicle is a 2016 Chevy Silverado, So we just need a little commuter car.

I will include the link to both.

Answer 1

I don't think either is a good choice. They are both overpriced.



Look for an older mazda 3 or 6 for under $4500 and pay cash.

Answer 2

Get an older spark private party. Dealers are rip offs.

Answer 3

Do you want us to tell you what to have for dinner tomorrow too. Dude, you re an adult, you have a wife, do what makes you happiest.

Answer 4

Pay cash
