Is spending $12,000 on a used car too much for a used car? (First Time Buyer)?
I've been looking at mostly Ford Fiestas and recently Volkswagen e-Golf cars… There isn't really that much of a price difference with the low-ish mileage. I would be spending about $12,000 for a car with 25,000 miles on it for either car (in my area). I've always wanted a Volkswagen… Should I go with the Volkswagen? And I need a car with a hatchback since I'm going to be moving soon for college. Anyway, I've tried finding cars in under $7k but there just wasn't many options with a lower mileage… That were decent cars anyway. Would a Volkswagen be a good first car? And is a $12,000 a better budget than $7k? I can make it work either way… But since it's my first car I'm not sure which I would get better bang for my buck. If you know what I mean. Thanks in advance!
I would also be commuting a lot for work and school… Fyi. Thanks again in advance!
