Q: I don’t want to buy some thousand dollar Houston Texas used car off of Craigslist, but every time I look in the Chronicle or a Houston Texas used car, they’re either to cheap or somewhere around five to ten thousand dollars. I only have three thousand dollars saved up, so how am I supposed to pay for a good car?

A: If you only have three thousand dollars for a Houston Texas used car, then you should try to just spend within your means. Just because the car only costs three thousand dollars doesn’t mean that it’s automatically a bad car. I’ve bought plenty of $2500 cars, and they’ve ended up lasting me and being more dependent as a Houston Texas used car than a new car would be.

A: Here’s something that I didn’t realize the first few times I bought a Houston Texas used car–you can actually get financed for a car that you’re buying from an individual. You can go through Capital One, a credit union, a bank, whatever, go online, and you can stil get the check and just make monthly payments to the bank.
