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 -- uucp: seismo!cmu-ri-leg!ssm arpa: ssm@cmu-ri-leg
