Hey gang,

car buying noob here, coasted on beaters in HS, college and into early adulthood. head gasket blew on my 98 civic and am looking to make my first real purchase. overwhelmed by all the bullshit out there and would appreciate the aid of my tww brethren.

Any and all input would be appreciated -- what dealers in the area would you recommend?

The particulars:


  • Budget: 10-25k, depending on the options available.

  • Financing: I got dat SECU membership, so I'm not necessarily tied to vendor options, but I have seen some deals that would be worth going outside the credit union for.

  • Vehicle will mainly be tasked with a very short work commute (<10 mi), plus commutes from downtown Raleigh to Chapel Hill 2-3x a week.

  • In a perfect world, I'd like something that could fit the everyday needs as well as providing a bit of comfort for 4 traveling to the beach (Carteret County represent) as well as a handful of annual trips to go see State and the Panthers play up and down the east coast.



Super broad, I know, but I'd love to hear folks convictions as relates to buying used cars in the area, as well as what they think would be good targets to buy.

Kia Soul, any civic, Camry, cry, or newer Mazda.

If I'm reading that right, you are looking for an appliance car, and don't have real specifics.

yeah pretty much. I have no dream cars or anything like that, I'd just like something reliable with some decent modern amenities.

So you're gonna need some size for hauling 4 + a weekend's worth of gear...CX5/9? CRV?

Not sure their rates are that great. Check PenFed and other online sources.
