so after a long time of searching for used cars...
I finally found the one I want with the right mileage, options, color and decent price. Im going to go look at it tonite. I drive a 12 year car, I think it is time to upgrade.

But why am I more nervous about this instead of excited???

1. probably because
you are worried about buying a lemon car, or the payment plan. My wife and I got screwed last year on a lemon ...so I can understand your apprehension. But, good luck on the car/vehicle, and I hope it does you good..:hi:

2. no payments, im buying it in full
Maybe thats the worry, spending that much money at once.

Theres a chance of a lemon but I have researched this model and its been around for a while and is pretty reliable.

4. Which car did you settle on? We're looking for a car for our
daughter to use.

I think we'll probably go to Carmax. They have some pretty decent deals.

3. Make sure to have it inspected by a good mechanic
It's not too expensive and takes a lot of the worry out of buying a used car.
