Which way to go?
When weighing a new car against a used one, the impact of financing might be one factor that tips the balance.
There are different advantages to new and used car loans that may best suit your particular situation, and save you some cash, too.

Discover the potential upsides for each side.
Not always an automatic choice
Most U.S. drivers opt for a car with an automatic transmission, probably without much, if any, deliberation.
Changing gears is just one less thing to worry about, particularly in stop-and-go traffic or if you’re traveling with kids in the back.
Yet for some, pluses like a more engaging driving style, typically lower new-car prices and better gas mileage are more important.
Compare the key differences of manual vs. automatic transmissions.

The Supra
It wasn’t a first car, exactly, but being sleek, red and speedy, it made a lasting impression.
Mark Macesich’s 1984 Toyota Supra was a reward for finishing graduate school – one in which buckling up in the driver’s seat “was like sitting atop a rocket.”
Thinking of a retro, rocket-like ride? They’re still available.
