What is The Best Used Car To Buy?

Austin Davis, January 12, 2011September 12, 2014

Maybe you can help me make up my mind about buying this particular car. It is a 2000 Ford Contour, Six cylinder, the body is in real good shape. It has 123,000 miles on it. I drove it, but to me it felt a little rough. What else can I be doing/looking at?
opinion.
Thanks
Abe

Hey there Abe

That is not a very swell vehicle, I would steer clear and buy something a little newer, like a KIA Rio 2009-2011. Great price, even new, great maintenance and lots of room for a small vehicle. Test drive a new one just so you know. Most people discredit Kia because its a small car company from Korea, but let me tell you they are taking on all the big auto makers in a big way. They make great vehicles ( I own one), they are very affordable, awesome maintenance record and fuel economy.

Seriously take a test drive!

Blessings,
Austin Davis
