the most important question, how good is your credit? if it sucks, good luck gettin something new.. you can still cop a nice used joint from like a big dealer..avoid those lil mom and pop spots who advertise cheap cars and '100% approved financing'.. they'll rape you and sell you a piece of shyt.
if your credit is good, you shouldnt have any issues getting into something nice.and if you are cool with used, go with the certified pre-owned cars.. they'll usually give you a better warranty
