Peter Shops for a Car

My 1992 VW Jetta has stranded me in traffic for the last time. Vengeance (and car payments) shall be mine! This page summarizes the current state of my car-shopping.

Current Status: we have a winner!

I bought an Accord Sedan for $23,000.

I sold my Jetta to the VW shop for a few hundred dollars.
