I'm thinking on getting a car. I really need one, but I am both waiting to get more money for a decent down payment (3000), insurance (like1000 because I always like to pay the fees for either an entire year or a semester so I forget about monthly payments and could easily concentrate on my car’s monthly payments) and for prices to go down a little bit more.

The main reason for being interested on this car is because I have researched many station wagons, crossovers, mini SUV’s and hatchbacks and this car seems to be the best choice. I have got results for cars like the Toyota Matrix, Nissan Versa Hatchback, Chevy HHR, Chrysler PPT Cruiser, Dodge Caliber and Jeep Patriot and Liberty. I really don't like big cars like trucks or the new SUV's because I feel that I am driving a bus or something even though I am 6'3 and weigh 200 pounds! I also look for good pricing and affordability, as well as miles per gallon. All of those cars mentioned on top really get good mileage from 21-28, which is not a bad range. I wouldn't mind if the car comes with a manual transmission too, but if my sister ends up driving it more than me, something that usually happens, than I would have to get a car with either an automatic transmission or one of those new CVT transmissions.

Since I have been researching I have obtained good prices, been 12 000 the cheapest one, and 21 000 the top one. I also have been comparing car sizes and dimensions. They all look alike, and range between 168-176 inches on height, 67-72 inches on length, and 66-68 on width. The Jeep Patriot and HHR have good space on the back, while the Matrix, Versa are smaller. Then they all look nice, and have good features. I don’t need a luxury car, so I don’t need to buy a car with leather seats, Bluetooth incorporated, and exotic rims. As long as the car has a good warranty for like 6-7 years, and or 100 000 miles I am more than satisfied.

I am planning on either buying my car either before Thanksgiving, or by late February of next year, because I would like prices to go down, and probably use a “new” or “upcoming” deal or Obama’s stimulus.

Now please help me. I would be more than satisfied with it.
 
Great car with a great warranty. We have seen few problems and most owners are very happy with them. The only issue is by the time you are ready to buy you may have to go with a 2010 because inventory for the 2009's is low.
