Stealthee,
Good to hear that some of them still give warranties. Otherwise one would be much better off buying from a private owner. Less money, less battling, less aggravation, less sawdust, and less crooks.
I'm looking at vehicles generally between 2006 and 2011. Volvo V50, CR-V, and RAV4. I think it was the RAV4 AWD from 2008 on that didn't get the MPG that I want though.
I of course am looking for a better than usual deal and trying to keep the most that I would spend at $13,000. If I could get a good vehicle down around $6500 would be good.
