    HOLY HELL- 

    So the wife and i are shopping for a small SUV or truck with four wheel drive for our daughter - who has her permit now- and we have cash- So  you would think we would be able to find something reasonable right?  wrong!!!  test drove one the other day- engaged the 4x4, and the damn thing coasts to a stop in traffic-  then at another dealership- we were escorted around to 4 different trucks- one had been in an accident- huge dent in front fender- one had a rust hole the size of a grapefruit under the door- and then the guy tries selling me a dakota that he thought they just got in on trade!  WOW ---- this is completely frustrating- maybe my daughter should keep her sneakers! 

    sorry to vent-  but im sure im not alone!  LOL

    I understand from my friend who sells used cars at his Goodyear dealership that thanks to 'cash for clunkers' good used cars are now at a premium. Another govt program screwing things up.
