Turns out I kept the car a decade and still have it. And I went with the toyota corolla.

Broken Arrow, I don't know what I would have bought. Maybe a used Toyota or Honda like i have now, almost 10 years old, would have been what $4k would have bought me likely. I would have stuck with a highly rated reliable car. I would not have bought a newer american car.

Russell, one of my friends whose a used car advocate, said he buys new because he wants the latest airbags for his wife and kids. He drives a beater, but he wanted a minivan with side airbags, better crash ratings than a used 5 or 10 year old minivan like he might have purchased without kids. So perspective on safety as well?
