Help finding my son a new car
My sons 2000 Ford Explorer front wheel completely froze up and destroyed the brakes and there is a problem with the rear axle too. Repair cost is over $1000 and I'm not paying that. Time to look at a new car for him.
Who were the resident dealers on this site again? Here are the cars he is looking at. Any opinions would be great as I have had it with car shopping these last few years. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3293/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...3293/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...4780/overview/ http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...57067/overview http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...4677/overview/ |

Volkswagen Jetta would be the best out of those choices.

I am selling my car shortly. It's a 2001 Toyota in great shape with 100k miles. I'll give you one hell of a deal.

I hear there is a guy in Montana looking to make a sweet deal on a used Mustang. Some douchebag from Arizons is trying to bend him over on the deal. You should call him and outbid this guy. His number is 1-800-LEW-SUCKS.

He is taking out his own loan so it isn't really my call. He is turning 19 soon.

Nissan or ford. If you're not set on either I would choose the best value. If one has lower miles, warranty, records etc.
I bet the Volkswagen will have the highest cost of ownership overall. |

Volkswagen's are notorious fixers. Especially the Jetta. My wife had a fairly new one when she was younger and she said it was needing something fixed all the time. Curious how these selections were chosen? There's plenty more out there for this price range than those selections.
