I was involved in a serious accident the other day on my way to work that wasn't my fault. Walked away with minor injuries, but my car is completely totaled. I have no experience with buying a used or certified pre-owned car, as that car was my parents' car. My car was an 09 honda civic, so the ballpark payout is between 6 to 8 grand. I'd like to stick with Japanese brands or look into Subarus. As far as buying used, can you recommend dealerships like car max? Im in the PA/south jersey area. I also don't have the money to buy a car outright, so does that mean i apply for financing? How long does that process take? Any reputable car makes/models/years you trust? Anything, even your story about your used-car buying experience would be helpful at this point. Thank you!
