Just have to add my .02 worth on the mileage statement. Look for a car that does not drive in City traffic if you can find it. Better to have a highway cruiser with 100,000 miles than a city staller with 20,000 miles. Case in point, I have 140,000 miles on my car, about 80% highway miles and have ORIGINAL CLUTCH and ORIGINAL SHOCKS, etc, all still in excellent shape. You won't find that on city cars that are constantly being battered by stop-and-go and overheating,etc.
