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

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.

Another thing I like about Carmax. They give you 30 days to get unlimited reports for $20 and THEY stop the service so you don't have to worry about canceling it yourself.
