2013 Chevy Cruze

[wpeters]

I have been looking for a car and I found one with 3,800 miles on it for $13,900. Five speed manual tranny.  It is not loaded. Just a base model  with XM and limited warrenty  100,00 miles. I normally but 30-35k miles on my car a year.  What do you guys think?

Depends on what blue-book value is, but generally speaking, I'll usually look for a low-mileage used car, rather than pay the "drive-off-the-lot premium of a brand-new car.  Don't no anything about the Cruze.

I think they run about $18k new so it's not horrible. Push them to come down a little if that the initial asking price. That Cruze with the turbo diesel that gets 46 mpg caught my eye. The price was A little steep though.

I worked for GM/Chevy for a number of years, and drive a Cruze 2LT myself.  If I can offer a bit of advice, get the 1.4L turbo, not the 1.8L.  It seriously makes a world of difference.  The 1.8L isn't necessarily a bad motor, just under powered and doesn't touch the fuel economy of the 1.4L.  I average 40 mpg with my 1.4L on the highway, and with a few slight tricks, can get 42 mpg or better.  Overall, the Cruze is a good buy.  Just get at least the 1LT.  Don't go with the LS.  You may pay a thousand or so more, but you won't regret it in the end.  The fuel savings alone are worth it.  Make sure to buy it from a GM dealership so you get it certified.  That'll give you an extra 12,000 miles warranty, roadside assistance, and 2 years of oil changes and tire rotations.  Also, it doesn't hurt to swap out the headlights for something a bit more aggressive.

Game, Set, Match, to VonMessa

  Maybe so but it doesn't need to be repaired when mowing the lawn!

  I've own many cars but the 2 Hondas I've owned were the best value and most reliable cars of them all.

LOL VonMessa.

You drive a 1940's Jeep?

[phatzo]

Do you guys build that over there or do we build them for you?

Cruze is one of my favorite rental cars. If I needed an economical way of getting around I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up. My only gripe for the autos is the little cubby in front of the shifter is the perfect size to barely not hold a phone and be able to put it in park.

I would wait, get the new SS
