I need a new ( to me) car. Mine just isn't reliable. I didn't have a car until I was about to have DD. So we went and bought one that we saw posted on CL. We couldn't afford car payments, so I went and got a $1000 99 Pontiac Sunfire. Car turned out to be a lemon. There were several problems that weren't disclosed and within a month and had to put just as much money in parts as I paid for the car. Six months later another $400 and now new seatbelts. I can't get out of town, I never go more tha half an hour away, I am afraid is gonna break down and I will be stuck somewhere with the baby. DH has a truck that he uses for work, and that's one isn't much better either, so we have two vehicles that we can't really go anywhere in.
So I need a new car. How do I go about it? Any tips? where's the best place to find reliable used cars? My DH is uselees when it comes to that stuff. Again, we would want to pay cash for it. But how do I know I won't get another crappy one? Right now there's a 01 Pt Cruiser listed that I love and it's $2200. The price seems too good to be true. I don't need a big car. We most likely won't have more children ( maybe one more). I just need something that won't break down on me like this one did so many times.
