i hate bmw 3 series.
if you are going to own a BWM dont own a 3 series. It can be bought by every do nothing jerk in the city. sorry for any designer that own one. I'd rather have the 04 honda civic i drive now then a BMW 3 series.

your some actual advice. I personally would never get a used car cause i know nothing about cars id perfer new and no problem for 5 yrs. also spending around $4000 on a used car your pretty much look ing for trouble, If you can buy new and get some finacing. I'm unemployeed and can still but barely manage to make my car payments on a part time salary. mind you the GF says i never take her anywhere nice. smart cars a cheap im not the hugest fan but cheap and the GM FORD employee discount thing is on now i believe.
just my thoughts..also buying a car isnt fun. its the biggest pain in the ass. so dont expect it to me fun like shopping for shoes or anything.

thanks hiten, the risks of buying used can definitely be near fatal to the bank. ford is having the employee discount promo goin on. just saw the commercial
tried to start shopping for one last year and it especially sucks when you don't know squat about cars.
cheers

you can try buying last years models they are usually cheaper.
Or cars off lease. ALso the 2 bosses at my old design studio bought a JAG and a PASSAT off this site around the same time they decided to lay off all 4 designers. :(check this site out it might help
