used car advice?

[Gillian Densmore]

Yet another thread!

Based on what the last mechanic had said I'm now thinking a used car would be a good idea. In short the last guy had to fix it had said that the my Nisan has a few factory defects in the engine he's concerned about. Though he didn't elaborate. (that was pep boys)

Who on earth can I take the car to for a free (or cheep) second look, and at what point do I grumble even more and try to set aside some cash for some elk of used car.

I would believe the Nissan dealer over Pep Boys - check if you've missed some recalls.

My criteria for car-buying decisions has been one of two - has the monthly cost of ownership exceeded what I would pay for a different car or is the frequency of failure causing problems (at work, at home, or elsewhere).

You could try Automotive Resources (http://arsantafeautorepair.com/).  They used to be and may be still are the only AAA certified autoservice shop in Santa Fe.  I'm not sure what or if they'd charge for any second opinion.

Thanks
Robert
