For my area anyway, the 13K is a good price for a car with that mileage, maybe 500 too high. I suppose the gas mileage is pretty good...though I came from a 37-mpg Accord to mine, so I'm not really impressed with the 22 mpg I average.

But compared to my dad's Jeep...I get awesome gas mileage. Compared to my girlfriend's Civic, my car is put to shame. :mrgreen:

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

My truck gets about 14 mpg...for me, 22-25 is a big improvement, although nowhere close to my wife's Corolla. This has been a tough decision...Thanks to everyone for your input, it's greatly appreciated...
