Thanks Pete,

It's owned by a friend of a friend, who is a mechanic. I hear that it was his mother's - one owner. It has 100K on it.

Even with gas going up to five bucks, it would take the boys a long time to spend more on gas than they saved not having to buy a car. Besides, Edmunds says that it was rated at 16mpg city and 23 highway. We were down to one car among the 4 of us (with both of the boys 40 miles away) so we're looking at having to replace two cars. Can't spend very much on one to send over there, and still pay their rent, tuition, etc. We'll see if the owner and I can come to a meeting of the minds.

The older one is excited by the size because it would be able to haul a lot of band gear. As far as spinners, etc., when they're working full time and paying their own auto insurance, they can dress it up as much as they want.

Regards,
