Thank you all so much!!!!!!
I will definately take my boyfriend with me when I go. I am still debating about whether to go to a dealer or private seller. My boyfriend knows a lot about cars and can fix almost any problem with them as long as they are American. So I am shooting for something American. I know that he will beable to tell me if a car is a dud or not and what I should look for in mileage, repairs, and what not.
Thank you for the Blue Book link..I completely forgot about checking there for info. That will be so helpful to me.
I am excited about buying a car and I do have some time to do it so I am hoping that it will work out well. I guess I just feel over my head right now and wanted some advice from others. This is kinda scary for some reason...

Thank you all...you are wonderful
