I dunno about buying from a dealership. Sure you get the option of a warrantee, but the cars are marked up so high. I took my grandmother around to dealerships to look for basic transportation and the best deal I could find was a 99 Nissan Altima for what would have ended up as about $8000. I can find the same car on Craigslist for $3000.
I'd suggest using craigslist, but in order to protect yourself use carfax (dippin said it before, but it bears repeating) and also take it to your mechanic (also, as dippin said). Jeez, dippin, you kinda said it all.
