I've begun browsing what's in my local (as in NY, CT, MA) area. I'm pretty sure I'll be a couple years before I'm actively looking, but I figure that way I learn about the market a bit more... Anyway, I see a lot of Ds on for around the $15-20k range. I'm trying to get an idea of what kind of condition that would get me...though from the pictures I immediately notice things like ripped seats and demaged headliners (but this is I guess normal for a car this age). Basically, I was about wondering any input you guys might have about buying. (There's always that chance that I might be able to free up some cash) On a side note, I hear that I'm lucky since PJ Grady is pretty close by here (relatively). Well, I found out some interesting info the other day. Apparently, they were planning a bridge across Long Island Sound that would lead me almost directly in the direction of PJ Grady's in the 70s and 80s. http://www.geocities.com/cyboexpo2002/too_bad.txt Build that bridge! Seriously though, any tips, etc would be greatly appreciated. $20k is a sizable chunk of change, and I want to know, in general, how much of a car this'll get me. Thanks!
