Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Looking for a new used car, are their any that I should stay away from? - I just went through a bankruptcy and my mother in law is cosigning on a car for us. We have conditions that we have to go buy when looking for a car. It has to be either 2003 or newer with less than 100,000 miles on it or for a 5 year loan it has to be 2007 or newer. I am looking at cars between $7,000 and $10,000. I see a lot of repeats on the cars.com website for certain cars. Chevy Cobalts, Kia's, Hyndai's and others I was just wondering if their are any that are known to be cheap bad cars. I am looking for a good deal so I don't want to be suckered into getting a car that is going to break down in a year once all the warrenties expire.
