Good time to get a loan, the interest rates are pretty low. First, do some online car searches to find used cars near you that look the sort of thing you want. Look up each one on a car valuation site (such as Kelly Blue Book) to make sure you aren't getting ripped off on price, then find a good mechanic and bribe him to come check out the prospects with you. You can probably find a decent car this way relatively affordably. If you want trade-in, of course, you may have to buy at a dealership, but you'll be a lot better able to identify how much the dealer is trying to pad his prices if you look up the car you want and have a mechanic check it for defects. I've done some work for a guy who does marketing for car dealerships, so I know a bit about the sorts of things they try to do to you.

Well we decided on option 3
I was doing some research on the net about car seats and cars and all that fun stuff and I came across the Sunshine Kids Radian, this is the skinniest I could find and it has a steel frame. SO I will be putting 3 of these in our little car! (2 forward facing and one for the new baby rear facing)
This choice allows us more time to decide and save. Sooner or later we will be needing a new vehicle but until then this choice is cheaper and allows us to pay off all debts we currently owe! So thank you for your advice, I am glad that option 3 popped up because we were getting a little frustrated!
