OK, in a few months I will be purchasing a new POS car.

Even though I have no plans to buy until late spring at the earliest, I think I'll poke around some of the dealerships after work today to scope out what's available...

1. If you are going to go w/a POS car

you might find better deals with cars for sale on the side of the road by a private owner. That's usually how we do it. Then, if we see something we're willing to consider, we bring a mechanic friend w/us (that really helps). Used car dealerships tend to jack prices up way higher then they should be imho. I don't trust them.

We've been getting by w/POS cars for years now. We just run them until something really bad happens... like a broken head-gasket or some such thing. :D
