In particular: 1) When is a good time to buy? 2) Is it better to wait and buy an '86, or to try to get a good deal on an '85 before the '86s arrive? 3) How much below list can one expect to get the price? 4) I have a 12-month old (1984) car. If I'm buying a new car in the same price class as my "old" one, would it be silly to trade it in instead of selling it? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? 5) If the new car is FWD, how do I make it turn? :-) Any help on #1-4 would be appreciated.
