On that note, I highly recommend priceline for airline tickets if you are
on a tight budget.. In particular, check out the tips found at
http://pub4.ezboard.com/bpricelineandexpediabidding
.. If you know the ins and outs of priceline you can get tickets DIRT
cheap -- thanks to the suckers who pay $300 for a ticket they couldve
gotten for $100 :)
Good luck! :) And run your carfax report on it first :> Also, some
mechanics will inspect a car on-site for you.. i am pretty sure
www.carclub.com offers this service for like $75. This may be worthwhile
before you fly out there.
