We're in the process of trying to find a decent used car ~~ ours has passed on.  It's interesting how the price of gas has changed the math of determing what is a better buy.  We found a 1990 Honda Accord in great shape, Kelly Blue Book asking price and they're good on gas.  Yet, my mom's friend has a 1994 Voyager she's willing to let go of for a fraction of the cost (plus some small repairs).

After contemplating our options it is interesting to find that the Voyager might be the better buy (as long as the mechanic says it's in good shape) because of the price of gas.  Even though the Accord is more fuel efficient, in the end we'll be further ahead buying the Voyager and using the rest of our "car cash" for gasoline.

What???!!???
