So, you are married to the brand. A lot of people are, that is why the
prices stay high.
I find that anyone that knows anything about the workings of a car can
usually judge whether a used car is a clunker or not. For the rest of them
a check over by a competent mechanic is always good.
That's just the way places like Hertz, Enterprise, Budget and large

Probably, the best way , certainly the easiest , is to buy an "09 now,
that the ;10's are out. and have no trade-in. you could easily get that
amount off the price. sell your car privately . Dealers give you
nothing for it. they don't want your trade-in.

Depends on the car. Then again, I'd be very suprised to find any $30k
car selling for $10k with 10k miles after one year or even two years.
Can you suggest a model that would meet that qualification?
There are GM, Ford & Chrysler models, for example, that I'd never pay
$10k for no matter what the mileage. On the other hand, I'm sold on

I believe the article on National Broadband Plan misstates the FCC
goals. They want the Broadband companies to make internet accessible TO
EVERYBODY either by wires (cable) or over the air (WIFI).
In other words, the long term goal is to make the internet like the
telephone: not only universally accessible, but eventually to become a

That's regrettable, but irrelevant. Your original post said you read
a WSJ article that was "about the FCC trying to force
people onto broadband by a new law."
That's just not true. You either misunderstood what you read, or the
writer had no idea what he was talking about. With the low regard I
have for the news media, I'd be more inclined to believe the latter

I don't know how many miles we will get out of them. They are all still
running fine. When we bought them they had approx 10,000 miles on them.
Hubby has typically turned each car over to one of the kids when it hit
160,000 miles. We are talking a 99, an 02, 03 and an 05. The 99 has at
least 200,000, I'm not sure about the rest but they are driven every day on

Hello everybody,
You must not have much unemployment in your area. We do. People
are afraid they will be out of their houses and apartments, and that
is why they do not try to get internet access where they live. Food
is important to most people.
