Plan B

[bertine]

I forgot to mention this when I posted about Zach not going into the Army. I have decided to still get a new car. If Hoopty hadn't been such a cheap car to start with or if he hadn't been hit by a bus and ran over a pipe on the interstate requiring a new oil pan thingy put in I might kept him. However, I am ready for a car that doesn't feel like it is about to fall apart at any moment.

I am pretty sure I am going to get a used car, one that is just a couple years old. However, I have no idea how to do this at all. I bought Hoopty from a friend of mine and this is the only car I have ever owned. I don't really think I have ever been to a car lot before. Any advice? Anyone want to go test drive a car with me? Any car suggestions? I like Sedans, I am thinking about the Mazda 6 but that isn't really based on anything.

I found my car through one of those car sites online (can't remember which one now). It was used but had only 900 miles on it. Apparently some couple went out and each bought a car on the same day and ended up trading in my car. I bought it simply because I liked the way it looked and was lucky that it turned out to be a pretty good car (a Scion xA).
