What a pity--Carmax doesn't have an Oklahoma affiliate dealer. Dallas is the closest, and there's really no sense in driving three hours to buy a car.

I need an "Under $3,000" category. Heh.

Also, if your cars are in really rough shape, do what I think "mineral man" suggested. Clean them up as well as possible, carpets and all. Sell them and buy something else, a little newer or just in much better condition.

I needed one for under $2,500 and got one for $2200. You don't need a Carmax dealer because you punch in the VIN and it comes out with a fairly substantial report in seconds. Besides the newspaper which was fruitless I used autotrader.com and found the one I'm going to buy if the mechanic gives the ok on it. Before you run to look at a car get the VIN and run the report, go from there or stay clear.
