This probably should go under one of LJ's sub-forums, but for some reason I am prevented from starting a new thread there.
Anyhow, I have recently come into a very small inheritance of sorts, as I might have mentioned elsewhere, and I'm considering replacing my extremely battered '92 Explorer 2-door model with a new used car. The amount of money I could invest is $6,000.00 tops. I have been thinking along the lines of a second hand Suburu and am wondering if I could find something worthwhile at that price. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Also, any pitfalls/traps to be aware of when buying a second hand car? What sort of things should I look for?
