Pizzaguy, just keep looking and take your time. The right car will come along.
Thanks, and I WILL take my time! I was close yesterday, found an 04 Graphite 6 speed with 90,000 on it with new front brakes, new front rotors, four new tires and new battery for $9990. Love the color and it drove very well. Someone was easy on THAT clutch!

But for that many miles, 10K still seemed a bit much for me. Course, you take the tires off and think, well, that would have meant he could have sold it to me for about $9000 but then I'd be putting tires on it.

Probably not a bad deal --- AND CLEAN, the underhood / engine looked damn near as good as mine! SOMEONE took care of it.

On the other hand...
A roadster with 38,000 on it I saw last night had oil all over the underengine cover, and all over the driver side of the eninge. Looked like they filled it too fast and it spilled all over .... and no one cared. The carpet in the trunk was dirty and they'd removed the factory mats and let the carpet get dirty! JEEEZZZ, some people don't deserve such a car. AND CAR MAX put the car on the lot like that!
