Thanks for all the info. I was actually looking for additional ideas on where and how to find a good used car. I thought maybe some of the AZ guys might know of some places or methods that are off the beaten path a little. But all this info on other options is great, too. I'll pass it on to my daughter. Since half the cash is hers, she wants a say in the type of car.

Bill V - she only has $2K saved so we're matching that for a total of $4K. She's actually a bit shy of $2K but $4K seemed like a reasonable low end. I'm actually very surprised at how little it seems like you can get for that amount of money. I'm guess I'm still thinking back to my first car. Cost me all of $300...
