Here's the cliff notes. Unexpectedly we are in need of a new (used) car asap. High mileage is ok as long as the car is generally mechanically sound and reliable (as reliable as a car of this type can reasonably be). Small, gas friendly, daily commuter, thru Atlanta. The current car being replaced cause it blew a head gasket is a 02 Civic, with 240k miles. Looking for something that kinda fits that bill. Under 160k mileage, auto trans, with working ac and heat would be the ticket. Last time we did this we found several in the $3-4k range. Now we are seeing a bit more in $'s. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Thanks brothers (and sisters)!
