Looked at hundreds of cars.
Every dealer and car lot think they have gold bullion for sale... Freaking cars with 125k to 175k and 10-14+ yrs old are all over $7,000 ...up to $12,000...
This market is so inflated it unbelievable...
Finally had my mechanic find one for me... A 2012 FORD ESCAPE 4 cyl, WITH 140K , LITTLE over $4,000 which was way cheap for its condition. Never owned a Ford before... 3 Toyotas ,1 Honda, MANY MANY chevys,1 Mitsubishi, 1 SAAB...
Fingers crossed...
Never buy a car after yours dies... Do it before it does...
Words of wisdom...
If the ignition system starts acting up, I have a hack for you. Until then, enjoy the ride. Good find, Jonesie.
