I will agree. The wife has needed something to replace her old Astro van that made it through 4 kids and over 180,000 miles. We have looked on and off for 5 months. The number of vehicles in the $5K range right at 100K miles that had been driven into the ground was staggering.
The one or two we found that may have worked were gone by the time we got to them. On top of that with the gas prices going up we watch cars that magically increased in price by the week.
But we kept at it. I even started looking at cars that were outside my target.
A couple of weeks ago we found it. 2 owner, 100k miles, Colorado car, always been maintained and serviced and clean as a pin. Had a maintenance log showing everything and a clean carfax. Drives and works like new. $4700 out the door after everything.![]()
