Expensive month

I usually get the Consumers Digest used cars book. I decide how much I want to spend, and then look up their recommendations for that amount. This system has worked well for me.

I am used to looking for a sports car with a standard transmission. Now, I don't know what I want to get. I'm thinking of a (very) small SUV with 4 wheel drive. I would love a stick shift, but they are not easy to find anymore.

I had a mechanic in Brooklyn who would run potential cars through a diagnostic
test for me, and that also worked out very well. I have a decent mechanic up here. He doesn't have the diagnostic machine, but I think I can count on him.

Sorry, Betsi. I didn't see that Judy had listed a "black" purse either. I'm very surprised because I don't picture Judy EVER carrying a simple black purse!!!!

Judy, you should check the Consumer's Digest for cars. My personal opinion is that Toyota cars are the best! They hold their value better than any other car as well. Also, I wouldn't be afraid to have one that was higher mileage. Dae Lynn had a Celica like yours and she went with a Toyota Avalon. She had to look far and wide to find one in her price range but she finally did. It's a simple looking car but the ride and all the accessories are wonderful!! I'm always amazed at how nice it is when I get to drive it!! You might want to check into one of them.
