My First Car Advise 4x4 or Car

Postby Irreplaceable on Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:36 am

Hi all, so basically I need to buy a new car (my first) within the next 2 months. Now i LOVE the Infinity 2009 FX 35 but 185 is way outta my budget! & second hand cars come at no less than 145k if your lucky...

soooo me being a brand new driver (one month experince with no prior country licence plus under 25!) my insurance is gonna suck... so now i need to think of a car within my budget which is approx 130k.. and am confused as i need something with a resaleable value.. and free 1st year insurance lol...

I have been advised Nissan Pathfinder?? or Prado?? But the pathfinders more a family car and im single .. and the Prado well, looks are ok but the wheels make it look funny (but i wont base my selection on just that btw)...

ORRR Cars, theres good deals for BMW 320i for 100k to 125k for 2008 & 2009 models respectively, but my insurance will suffer... and lastly Nissan Altima Coupe (2 door new one)..

Sorry guys this is a bit of a jumble but i am REALLY confused and been having so many advises for every single model on the market.. but its come down to those 4 phew... Please advise!! :roll:

for 130k you have quite some options.
do you want a suv or sedan? if your under 25 2 door cars will be hard/expensive to insure especially with a license under 1 year old.
the cheaper 3 series like the 320i, the infiniti g35, mustang( insurance will be hard), lexus is300 etc are all good options and you can find used also and save some cash

Get a 330i second hand, 2 years old!
BMW comes with 5 years service and warranty, so you'll get to still have 3 years of peace of mind as well.
