So I made it through my first day ever of car shopping, overall it was a nice experience as none of the salesmen were pushy and had no problem with taking them for test drives.
I learned one important thing today: A picture is not worth a thousand words, you have to sit in them to notice all the flaws that the dealers cameras magically don't pick up.

Most of the time flaws aren't noticed until after it's in the new owners possession. Did you notice any? |

Yes, such as a broken front passenger seat. It looked fine until you tried to adjust it's position. |

Nameless, I hope this car buying isn't going to turn into a learning experience for you. I sure bought some horrible junkers. I had a couple of good used cars, but they are few and far between.
