Here is the story of my first car

I'll never forget when I got my first car. Getting home from school and seeing it in the drive way, getting in it and starting it, then realizing I don't know how to drive it...

My first car was a 2003 Honda Accord with a V-tec engine. Black four door with leather seats and a sunroof. It was beyond what I imaged my first car to be. Oh and how could I forget it came with low profile rims, I thought it was so cool. The one thing I was

forgetting, it was a manual transmission something I had no idea how to drive. It was a nice summer day and I couldn't even take my first car out for a drive around the block. If that wasn't bad enough I had my friends messaging me to come pick them up or drive them to school and all I could do was say "sorry dude, I don't know how to drive my car". I spent hours on hours in a parking lot by my house teaching myself how to drive a manual car. I got so frustrated with it I wanted to just resell it for an automatic. Even when I got comfortable enough to drive it on the streets I still would stall it, leaving me frustrated and embarrassed. At the end of the day I'll never regret learning how to drive stick on my first car. It is a skill I could use later in life and now I'm able to drive any car I get into. I wish I could say I still have that car but let's be real, I drove that car to the junk yard. Taking it to high RPM's and not taking care of it, my first car only lasted me 3 years. My first car was a huge learning experience for me and something I will always remember.

What do you think is the a good first car

Focusing on the fact that I'm still in school and really just looking for a car that will get me to campus and back.

I took some time to look at my school budget and saw how much I was paying  for public transportation. Between the subway, GO train and Mississauga transit I am spending a lot more then you think. Now I want to put this money towards a used car that will take me to campus and back. I don't know much about cars and I really want to focus on a car that has great gas millage, is safe during the winters, and will have a low insurance rate for a student. Can you car guys give me any suggestions or recommendations, remember I'm not looking for anything flashy or fast.

How do you know if you're getting a good price for your car

How do you know if you're getting a good price for your car

Buying your first car is exciting but also can be a massive headache and full of questions if you're not a car person. Lucky for you people have made many mistakes buying their first car and have learned through their mistakes.

For all those people who don't have a high education or passion for cars and are simply looking for a used car that won't cost them a lot and don't really know what their buying, I recommend a used car check list to help you get the best price on a car that will not end up costing you big bucks $ in repairs. These check list will help in buying a quality used car by taking the right steps before putting down any money. The last thing any used car buyer wants is to purchase a used car and not feel 100% comfortable that the car doesn't have any maintenance issues or a bad history.

How long did your first used car go before a maintenance visit?

Everyone's first concern about buying a used car is "am i getting ripped off"? Many people worry if they are paying too much or they are worried that they are paying to less and are not getting the quality of car they want.

After going through many different sites I found that there autotrader.ca & carpages.ca are the best used car sites to visit.

I will never forget buying my first car!

The story behind my first car is a hilarious compilation of ups and downs! It’s something I will never forget.

The first car that I bought was a 2001 Audi A6, and it was a fantastic used car, one of the best I’ve ever had. But me being a young teenager, I decided to buy the car as a manual which was a huge mistake as I’ve never driven manual prior to this vehicle. So after driving it home with my Dad all I wanted to do was pick up my friends and show it off to them. So when I finally left the house I was driving and there was a bunch of traffic, my dad kept telling me to be careful while driving manual as it can be very dangerous if you mess up, but I didn’t listen and was confident in my “driving skills.” So after about ten minutes of driving, and a whole bunch of mess-ups with the gear shifting, I was making a left turn and while I was in the middle of the turn I messed up the clutch and the car stopped in the middle of the road while turning. I immediately panicked and had to turn on my blinkers and get someone to help me move it out of the way of the road. I was too scared to call my dad about this, so I started to try to fix this myself and called my friend to help me out, luckily the same problem had happen to him and he told me to unplug the battery and re-plug it then try turning on the engine, which worked! It’s something I will never forget and thanks to that I was more careful while driving manual.

What’s the most interesting story you have on your first car

Where can I find a cheap car to get me from A to B?

What’s the best used car to get as a temporary vehicle that?

My car recently broke down about five days ago, and I’m still saving enough money for a Dodge Charger, but It’s going to take me another eight or nine months to gather enough money for that car, so I was wondering what’s a cheap used car that I can purchase and can drive with no problems for the next few months? I’m not looking for anything in specific just something that can drive me from point A to B with ease. I would prefer a used car as I’m only going to have it for a few months and then re-sell it to someone. Do you guys have any recommendations? And let me know your experience with the car that you recommend like if it was a cheap first car that you purchased.

Do you guys drive for style or just to get from point A to B?

The Best First Car

Buying my first car was a disaster; I was looking for a cheap car and didn’t look for durability and reliability. That’s why I’m going to show you what I believe the best first car is.

Today, I’m going to write a review on the best car I’ve ever had and a car that I would say is the best first car. Many of you may agree with me when I say that the Honda Civic is an ideal first car, especially for a student or young adult. Why you may ask? The Honda civic stands out from other cars in its class, it’s very spacious inside for its size, has a smooth transition and easy drive, and one of the best fuel economies with other competitors in its market.                

The 2015 Honda Civic has an outstanding four-cylinder engine that test drivers say has plenty of power for its size. A five-speed manual transition is standard while automatic drive is optional and recommended for new drivers, at the same price. The standar
d 2015 civic gets 30/mpg (miles per gallon) while driving in the city and 39/mpg while driving on the highway.

The civics front and rear seats are very spacious and feel comfortable and natural for a car of its size and can easily fit the driver plus four additional passengers. It’s also good to note that visibility while driving is also very good and comfortable. The 2015 model comes standard with Bluetooth audio and hands free phone dialing, a rear-view camera, USB and AUX ports. Optional features include leather seats, passenger blind spot camera, Navigation/Audio display system, that feels natural and responsive.

After nine generations, the civic is still today’s top compact cars and it’s not ready to stop just yet. While competition in the smaller car market is rising, with the Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus and the Kia Forte. Honda civic still is the most common choice for today’s young drivers as it is much more customizable then the competition. It’s easy to say that the Honda Civic is a great first car. How do you feel about the new 2015 Honda Civic?

How to find the best deal for car insurance!

Car insurance is mandatory nowadays when driving your own vehicle. It’s important that you have effective car insurance, but make sure you’re not paying too much!

When I first started driving, I was paying way too much for car insurance, since student car insurance tends to be quite expensive. These are the top things I find on how to find and maintain the cheapest car insurance. Firstly, you want to make sure you have a clean driving record. Accidents and convictions can stay on your driving record for years to come. It’s the primary thing companies look for when you’re buying insurance from them. Always make sure you’re shopping around different companies. Plenty of consumers believe that all companies charge the same rate for insurance, this is not true. Rates vary significantly from company to company. All these companies consider the area in which you live, the type of car that you are driving and how long you have had your licence. But all companies have different policies for their claims and loss experiences. One important factor is known as “The Porsche factor” this means that the car that you drive significantly changes your rates. Newer cars cost more to insure than older cars, and sports cars, such as the Porsche cost more than family cars like the Dodge Caravan and a sedan like the Civic. These companies also look at the statistics that the type of car has on theft, safety and history. Always make sure you’re asking for a discount, the worse they can say is no and your left with the original price. Lastly, ensure that you have taken the drivers training course. This can significantly reduce the cost of insurance as companies do look for this!

How much are you currently paying for car insurance?

What should your used car cost?

Car prices can be very deceptive, especially when buying a used car. Make sure you know the value of a car before purchasing!

The most obvious thing you need to know about the cost of the used car is its retail price, always ensure that you know how much a brand new version of that car costs before purchasing and looking at the used car prices. You want to ensure that you are saving enough to make it worth buying it used.

As consumer reports stated “If you are buying it from a private seller, you can usually expect to pay a somewhat lower price. Retail is also considerably higher than the price you’ll receive for your trade-in because it includes a profit margin for the dealership.” (Consumerreports.org)

Also if you want to find the average price of a used car you can check websites such as Usedcars.com and AutoTrader.com. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re buying the car online; these fantastic websites can be used as a margin for what you should be paying for the vehicle you’re buying.
