Thats just a few. There are several on this site for sale around your price range. If you are looking to eep the payments close to $300 a month, you can go a little higher that $18,000... espically with a $2000 DP. I put $1000 down on my 1999 FRC and financed $26000 and my payments were only $400 a month. Its paid for now though.
With good financing... you can get a good payment. Trending Topics
