RW> AB>     I have to find a "very affordable" used car for a family   
   RW> AB> member (somewhere between US$ 1,000 and 2,500?)  Ideally an old   
   RW> AB> hatchback or perhaps a subcompact sedan.  At this price point I   
   RW> AB> realise that whatever he buys should be considered a temporary   
   RW> AB> vehicle but if it lasts him a year or two, that would really help him   
   RW> AB> out of a difficult spot.   
      
   RW>My advice would be to go to a supermarket or a dedicated book store and   
   RW>find a copy of an automotive consumer's report. Also find a copy of "Blue   
   RW>Book" automotive values. Some cars are created equal and others are bad   
   RW>news. You'll get the idea once you read blue book values.   
      
   Just checked my 2013 CR Buyers guide.   
      
   Basicly look for a Toyota or a Honda and AVOID a GM or Chrylser and   
   most other Foreigh Cars
