[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we unexpectedly need a new car and are kind of scrambling on what to buy.

This is kind of a secondary car for commuting, so my first impulse would be to get something like a Honda Civic or Kia forte. Does anyone have any recommendations for which small but car is reliable and safe? It seems like Honda is actually not ranked as highly anymore so I feel very uninformed.

The used car market still seems inflated compared to pre-pandemic, so the value for a reliable used car seems to be somewhat lower than just buying new and having those productive years? I know that was the case for several years during the pandemic. Is it still better to buy new, we can afford it. We’re just trying to save up money for college in a couple years.

And then there is the electric option. Is there an affordable electric now? I think even the cheapest store around 50k and I don’t think any rebates from the government really move the needle anymore, right? Maybe I am just not following along?

I tried searching on Edmunds, but it only seems to give me actual cars for sale rather than expected pricing for a range of cars, maybe I need to use a computer.

Haven’t bought a new car in a decade so kind of flummoxed [/quote]

If you are leasing Hyundai has a lot of deals on electric. 36 year lease for total payout $11,500.

Also the gas car market is down 10-20% depending on brand. So there are a boatload of deals. Used EVs and Gas cars are pretty cheap also.[/quote]
