Again though it was my fault, and here it is almost 3 years later and I'm still driving it.
A friend had a 91 Bonneville, it was a GREAT car. I'd drive the 6000 for sure.
I can see why some folks buy new cars and if you get lucky like Rob can be good to you. Heck my dad doesn't even change his own oil anymore.
That said if I had to pay 10-15-20k or more on a car I'd probably choke 
The old Civics the 'kids' drive are amazing. Hey I complimented Mr Honda  Seriously, they buy them looking ragged out with 300k miles and drive them forever, good on gas, fun to drive.

My Honda civic went to 289,000 and I most likely could have had it fixed when it broke down in 2009 but I got tired of dealing with it...
somecame to my house and bought it for $500 NOT Running....
so much for there being a used car at $1000 shortage...
my Honda CRV was bought off a used car lot no bargaining for $13k in 2006 with 70k on it...it is parked outside right now with 231,000 on it.
Pete any empirical evidence of car under 1000k shortage based on fact not you subjective experience?
