Spousal unit wants a sedan (although she likes to haul around a bunch
of stuff, so I think a small, car-based multi-purpose vehicle would be
a good choice).

Thanks for all of the good advice. I plan on keeping whatever car I
buy for as long as I kept the last one. At my age, it could very well
be the last car I ever buy. I am not that old, but if I keep the car
15 years, I will be. So, I tend toward an almost new Honda. We bought
the '93 with less than 10k on it, so it was like new. I am really
looking for a car with less than 20k. Strangely, they are available.
I found the one with 5k, and I am still puzzled. It may be a repo, but
I am going to look at it.

I tried the local CarMax web sites and looked over their inventories.
They have lots of "06 models, but they all look like fleet and
rentals. I was not impressed.

More to come.
