Speaking of new cars, we're STILL looking. We found what appeared to be a great deal on a '96 Nissan Sentra GXE, but when I took it to our mechanic to have him inspect it, he found a severe oil leak that could potentially cost $400-$500 to fix.

The dealer selling the Nissan is have "their guys" check it out, and they said they'd let me know if it's worth it for them to fix it or not. But I'm no longer as excited about that vehicle.

The next promising thing is a 2000 Ford Escort that we located at a dealer just down the road from us. It only has 30,000 miles on it, and they're only asking $8400 for it. I ran a Carfax record check on the vehicle, and it came up clean. Looks like it was a rental car before the Ford dealer got it, and it appears that they've had it on their lot since last September. Could be why it's going for so litte. It'd be nice if we could talk them down even more. I'm going to get it inspected Thursday if possible.

Looking for a used car can be really insteresting. We've been all over town, and visited seven different dealerships. I must admit that not all used car salesmen fit the fast-talking stereotype; but two of the men we talked with most certainly did! We also dealt with a softspoken fellow, a greenhorn ("this is my first day!"), and a moron. Well, that was our impression, anyway.
