Plus, $1000 in NY is not as much 'money' as $1000 in Arkansas. Plus,
one certainly wouldn't want to go to a met. areas where carpooling is
encouraged when he is wanting to buy a used Buick Estate wagon. Also, a
vehicle w/o air cond. would prolly bring less $ in a sunshine state, like
Fla., than in a colder climate like mountainous areas in Washington state.
Prices do vary by zip code! s
