[net.auto] Used Cars

I am interested in buying an old car in the $1500 -$2000 range with better
than 25 mpg on the freeway.  I looked at consumer reports but there is too
much information for me to digest.  I was wondering if anyone had any cars to
recommend.  Also I was wondering if there are any areas of the country where
cars are cheaper.  If it is a good vacation spot I can drive down sell my
Honda and buy another car.

I have been looking at the 75 Volvo 164E for about #1500 and the Volkswagen
diesel 80 for $2000.  Are there any problems with these cars.  I will be
driving in Pittsburgh and on the freeway.

Lastly anyone know where I can get a good 79 Honda civic body.  I have a 77
Honda engine with 70k on it and it loooks like it will go forever.  Would
love to give it a new body if I can.		
			Thanks in advance for the info.	Sesh
