r/car

Hello! I just moved here in the USA last May 31 and just started working last July 14 and I have 2 credit cards that are also just new.
A car dealership got me approved for a car loan but the APR is 25%. I understand that it is because I have no credit score yet, but is that really how hard it is to loan a new car with acceptable APR if you’re new here and no credit score yet? I don’t want to buy a second hand car as much as possible.

Need your thoughts on this and please be kind.

I’m looking for a used car in the $7,000–$10,000 range. I want something with better than 16–17 combined MPG and quicker than a ~7-second 0–60. It should look sporty, similar in vibe to a C5 Corvette or BMW E36, be very reliable, make a good daily driver, and have 4 seats preferably . Basically, I want a fun, sporty, reliable daily driver that improves on both speed and fuel economy compared to a typical 2006 Nissan Frontier. The biggest thing for me is gas mileage

I have a 1992 gold Toyota Camry and idk what to name her. People keep saying it'll come tk me and it won't. How do you name your cars?

??

Drove past a place with a big $499 down cars sign and immediately went "okay what's the catch." Bad credit here, so $499 down would actually be doable for me, but I've been burned before by stuff that sounds too good.

Is the $499 really all you need to drive off, or is it $499 down plus tax, fees, and first payment once you're sitting there? And does the rate get worse to balance out the low down? I make steady money and can handle a normal monthly payment, it's the big chunk up front I don't have. If a low-down lot near me can really get me approved for around five hundred I'm interested, I just wanna know what's included before I go.

hey, im in the uk considering doing headlight restoration as a business, i did it to my car and it looks great so thinking about doing it to other cars too, how much would you be willing to pay for this service? and any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy a reliable used hybrid car ASAP, ideally within the next week before university starts.

My requirements:

\* Hybrid

\* Backup/rear camera

\* 120,000 miles or less

\* $10,000 max, paying cash

\* Reliable and preferably good on gas

\* Clean title and no major mechanical issues

\* Located in or around the Chicagoland area

I’ve been checking Facebook Marketplace but haven’t had much luck so far. I’m open to different makes/models, so if you or someone you know is selling something that fits these requirements, please let me know!

I’m willing to travel within the Chicagoland area for the right car. I’m trying to get something ASAP, so any leads or advice on where else I should look would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
