As you get to buy a used one Judy...I have to go to a salvage yard to pick mine out...LOLOL

I would too if I had someone to fix them up for me! In NYC, if you have to park on the street, I think it's pointless to have a new car. The bumpers are scratched up very soon because everybody squeezes into parking spots. There's also how many times when you park in a lot and come out to find a scrape. a dent, a ding, etc.

I've always bought my cars the same way. I decide how much I can spend, buy the Consumers Car Book, find their Best Buys for that amount, and then go look for it. I
always drive a stick and my last 3 cars have been sports cars. I have a mechanic I really trust and have the car checked out by him before I buy it. It's a good system.
