Bought my First "Brand New" Car..Focus!

[They Adam Bradley]

well crapper i did it today, i bought my very first ever brand new car. I had a 2000 dodge ram that was in bad shape. the transmission was going out, needed 4 new tires, brake pads, wheel barrings..it was just about to die. I had problems trading it in cause i still had 2 years of payments on it and essentially i owed more than what it was worth..

anyways long story short, i went from a 2000 dodge ram which ATE up gas.. so a 2010 ford focus...

i manage a small restraunt for a living and do alot of deliverying so as u can guess deliverying food in a dodge ram ATE up alot of gas and even though the payments r very high for the focus (375) a month and the dodge was only 200.. i figured Ill be saying alot on gas

just wanted to throw it out there!, anyone else drive a focus?

Congrats. A few of my friends got them in college, as that's around the time they hit the market and most liked them.

My aunt has one and loves it as she does some serious traveling in distance for work (like sixty miles round trip). She also has a Subaru for bad weather, but she loves the Focus to the point there has to be a few inches of snow before she takes the Subaru.

They're also surprisingly comfortable for their size from what I've heard from her and a few big friends. Well, at least the front. I road in a back with four other people, but to be fair... I'm a 29 waist and had like one cheek on the seat with my shoulders turned so I was taking up less than a foot of space.

I can't drive a Ford Focus, I have ADD.

$375 is high for a car payment?

I've bought all my cars outright and never new, so I've never had the pleasure, but I know my mom pays upwards of $800 per month for her car.
