Over 300,000 between them? I have a 1998 Japanese made Subaru Forester which just hit 250,000 miles and runs like a top. Best car, too bad she is a daily 80 mile commuter car at the moment, I wish I could take better care to minimize mileage. Huh? Over 300,000 between them?

I think it is THE best place for buying used cars at reasonable.... no.... GREAT prices. Just bought a '01 Mazda Protege 2 weeks ago (loaded) for $3800 and KBB gives me a Private Party Value of $6200. In fact, I've done a video series to show other people how to do it to!

I'll keep CarFax in mind -- sounds like a decent deal. Edmunds is another good data point as well. Thanks for the comments! I’ll keep CarFax in mind — sounds like a decent deal.

The Lebaron has 145K+ on it but it was too far gone for me to trust any more (my boyfriend the mechanic however has bought it and is using it as his backup car). When I started looking for a car, I purchased a 1 month unlimited-report subscription at CarFax.com. The information it gives is pretty good and it stopped me from looking at one car because of where it came from (the middle of Rita damaged east Texas).
