As you probably know, the auto markets are essentially fighting for survival since auto sales have tanked and credit markets have tightened up. I've heard of some non-prime borrowers being turned away from auto loans (got a friend in the lending business) but buying a nice used car might be the better way to go all around. I know there are many good deals out there considering how many people have had cars repo'd or they are forced to sell at below market rates. I wrote an article about the perfect time to buy an SUV a few months ago, since they've essentially been halved in value after only 1 year... could be a way to go. You could even try checking the major car rental companies. Most of their family oriented cars have very low mileage and are treated very well. Hope that helps. Tough break about your car.
