gee, i finally posted a thread that got responses. am i getting smarter or is it just dumb luck? probably the latter.

hey, i am looking for a gas model (sorry diesel lovers, but hey, its less competition for you), for about $8k. i am on the west coast, and appreciate all the responses (tho not the pictures of the late model wagons, especially the black ones; i believe envy is one of the seven deadly sins; if so, guilty as charged)

so tell me - please - what to avoid, i.e. 4matics? rust prone models?

thx
