I am just turned 18 and Im looking at a 94 hatchback, turquoise, black leather, 108k miles, AT(what i want) for 5,400. I am going to offer 4500 and if he wont take that I hope he will atleast take 5k.

I aksed my parents to go with me but they dont want me to buy a celica, they are stupid when it comes to cars, they suggested to me today that I buy this 1996 mustang near me. (they dont want me to have a celi because I have a bad driving record, but theyll suggest a MUSTANG? atleast the celi can handle well..)

Anyways they prolly wont go with me so I was wondering how a dealer would react to me and maybe one of my friends coming in to look at a car provided I have cash.

Also how much do tax+title+tags usually cost.

Thanks guys >>

Since its a used car they will most likely welcome you with open arms provided that they know your somewhat serious about buying a car in the first place.

They will probably let you take it out. Now if you were trying to take out a Z28 camaro or something then that might be a different story.

For taxes and all that it depends on how much your state tax is. Say you bought the car for 5000$ and your state tax is 7% then you will pay 5350$. The dealer can let you know of all the fee's though.

wow talk about a turnaround from my mom, she used to work at lots of car dealerships and it turns out the one this is at is a branch of her old one. so she calls up her old friend and her old friend told us to offer him 3700 and they will definitly take it, i love having hook ups! >>

well i was gunna say only offer 4k no more, but **** you have a sweet as-s hook-up, thats def nice price.. good luck.. just make sure its not leaking any oil no matter how many miles it has... good luck, im still trying to find out about the other ones.. if this for some reason falls through

haha yea thanks bro, im gonna end up paying 3910 with tax and title and 30 day temp tags, then 470 for my down payment on my insurance then with whats left im gonna spend on sound cause thats number one priority right now haha im an audiophile!

hey, im 18 too and they let me drive an 03 lightning, and an 02 trans am

with the lightning it was easy tho cuz my uncle works at the dealer

its a 135hp automatic fwd car, easy to drive and far from new.

oh and a celica is cheaper in all aspects when compaired to a mustang

me and my girlfriend went up to a toyota dealership to check out some of the new and used 02-03 Celica GTS for her, we're 18, one dealership didnt even say anything to us, and the other one offered us a test drive in a 03 GTS. then we went to an acura dealership and one of the ladys there was super nice explained everything for the RSX and offered us a test drive, it just depends where you go i guess.

well ever dealership has one of each car that they use to test drive... well the really big dealers... only thing they car about is if you have a vaild drivers licences...every few months i just go into any dealership for a test drive...

in the last year i test drove the an 03 civic si, 03 elcipse gt, bmw M3, RSX type-S, CLK600, and Mustang SVT
