I'm starting to look for a new car, now that I'm starting my new job. Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent car for under 35k? I'm looking for something 2001 or newer. I was looking at a mercedes c230 kompressor, and am considering a bmw or something like that. Thanks

lol cobalt. A buddy of mine just bought one, put 2000k on it and it's already been in the shop 4 times. Doesn't exactly look like a reliable car.

Really. I heard good reviews about the Cobalt. What sort of problems did they have?

You can get a BMw Audi/Vw Benz for that price and have good times with the ladies.

hahahahaha. GM, oh god please don't make me laugh any more, thier product's are **** and the custermer service is like gettin kicked in the ***. the other day, Gm had the corage to call me up and ask how my car was doing. All i said was it's doing good and said good bye. They damn well knew they sold me a fricken lemon and made me invest another 3 grand in to her just to get her running this good. if you want tonnes and tonnes of problems and have money to spend get a GM, but if you want something that's reliable get a ford, old ford's don't die they just go a **** load faster. Old chevy's don't go faster they just DIE. ford is the way of the future for me and possibliy import's or any thing with a hatch back.

The Eclipse that was posted on here looks pretty nice, and if its only 25K I would go with that.

You could also get a brand new Celica for around 32K.

That eclipse is going to end up over 40k with any options on it at all. I'm not much of a fan of the new celicas. I also would preferably try to find a used car with warranty remaining, then I can avoid the 10-15% loss right when I drive it off the lot.
