I sleep in the back of my wagon and like to be able to open or close
the windows if it gets too hot, or starts raining, etc.

I also have a friend who slept in the back of his Subaru when he went
on cross country ski trips. He is about 6' 2". He even use to own
one of those U.S. Ski Team Subarus. For some reason he never had a
problem parking at ski race events, even when he arrived only minutes
before the start.
That's another reason I purchased the Brighton: No electric windows or
locks. I do wish I had gotten the optional lighter though... For plugging
in the CB, etc.

I imagine you might have better luck going through the ads in the Ann Arbor
News.
I'd be very nervous buying a car that new (and therefore expensive) from an
individual I didn't know. When I bought mine from the Saturn dealer it came
pretty thoroughly refurbished, having had a pretty thorough inspection and
having gotten soem stuff replaced, and it had a reasonably long warranty, such
that when a few things did go wrong it was easy to get them fixed for free.
People I've known who have bought used cars from people they didn't know have
often ended up with lots of problems reasonably quickly, and nobody to turn
to get the repairs paid for.

Then again, I've had generally OK luck on used cars (that 1983 Nissan was
bought from somebody I didn't know, Steve...)

The trick is to take the car you want to buy to a trusted mechanic and have
them go over it with a fine-toothed comb and report any problems back to you.

I've seen cars for sale at the K-Mart on Washtenaw. Sometimes at Arborland
near the gas station as well.

also, if you go to Palmer Ford in Chelsea, and ask for Mike Kushmaul. In
general, Palmer Ford is a great small-town car place, and I always take my
cars for service there, whether or not I bought them there. Their
description of the condition of the used car you buy is most likely very
accurate. They are trying to build repeat customers, and don't mess you
around.

There's a small commuter-type lot on Ann Arbor-Saline Rd (on the way to
Meijer/Target/Oak Valley) on the west side of the road that usually has
6 to a dozen cars lined up with for sale signs. This is just after you
go over I-94, heading south on AA-Saline, I think.

On the way to Plymouth Nursery, along Plymouth Road, after Dixboro, I noticed
one little white car for sale in a driveway on the right side of Plymouth
Road. Its a nice drive if you have nothing to do to take a look. It is only
one car though.

Re 61: that's actually *before* you go *over* I-94. You might whiz
by the lot before you know it's there; it's kinda small. Drove by
there this weekend and there were several cars with for sale signs.
