My biggest concern is showing up at say, Cerritos Auto Square, with that clueless aura that car salesmen pick up on so easily. (We've got a live one!) I usually go in knowing exactly what I want.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll look for a Toyota but keep Honda and Nissan in mind. It looks like it's going to be a question of how little can I spend versus the age and mileage of the car.
