I just wanted to thank everyone for their tips.
we got a 2000 mazda protege. only 78,000 km, driven for pleasure only by the wife of the accountant who works for the dealership. Brand new radio and CD player (old one skipped and was replaced under warrenty). New tires, security system. Everything works (we checked). Mechanic said it was all good. Talked the price down to less than average for that year/model/mileage. Payment were a little higher than we planned, but we did a budget and can afford it. If we are having problems, I'll get a weekend job decorating cakes for a bit.
Only thing we need to do is work out insurance. we got some good quotes, so we are just working out the best deal now.
Thanks again everyone! We have already decided to go on a road trip for one day during labour day weekend. Can anyone suggest somewhere to go (we were thinking georgian bay or MacGregor Point Provincial Park).
