D-Back,
What-ya like? Car, SUV, SUT or mini-van?
Suggest never buying 1st model year cars i.e. the 2007 Mustang has the bugs worked out from the 2005 model.

i just went through this process myself. look on autotrader.com or azcentral.com. definitely go with a toyota corolla. they are really dependable, you get at least 150k+ out of them and they are basic enough that you should be able to get a really good one used in your price range. camrys are good too, but you'll end up paying more for the fact that the car cost more new.

Looking for a sedan - good gas mileage.

My Saturn SC2 went to 160K before I sold it. My aunt had the sedan. She sold it to my other aunt at 130K and it is still going strong. Good car.

Saturns are solid and I also can't complain about the reliability of my Nissan Sentra.

I would secure a loan from one of the local credit unions and then shop through craigslist or the auto trader. You get so ripped off going to a dealer for a used car.

Was she driving it in reverse? Why would it be 30k less?

I think they're two different cars, silly. Wendy had the SC2 and her aunt had the sedan.
