Amy,

Either way you look...Toyota, Honda, or Saturn, they are all excellent vehicles. Toyotas and Hondas last forever...they just don't want to give up. So, used toyotas and hondas will be okay too! I use to want a Saturn, but they stopped making the model I wanted before I got a chance to get it. I have only heard good things about them. I know quite a few families and friends of mine who have only had Saturns and will only ever have saturns. The only reason they get a new one is because they like a newer model...lol. If you're parents are willing to help you, sometimes in the long run it's better to buy new. Especially with 0.0%APR on a lot of vehicles or 1.9% up to 4.9%. Some also get the low APR PLUS cash back too. It's something to think about. ALSO.....if you do change your mind to new buy GAP insurance with it. If you were to total your car the GAP insurance would pay for the difference between what you owe and what it was worth before the crash. I don't get a car without it. If you need anything else just PM if you want! Hope this helps.
