Two of us are travelling to the United States in July/August 2005. We land inNew York and intend to visit Rhinebeck, Brodhead and Oshkosh. We would like topurchase a car somewhere near New York. Can someone suggest or advise whereto start looking for one and the approximate cost we would be looking at. Thecar would need to be reliable to travel from Oshkosh onto Los Angeles (our roadtrip).RegardsClem BoydChristchurchNew Zealand________________________________________________________________________________

ClemBuying a car here can be a real pain. You will have to get insurance and all.Why not think about renting? There are some really good deals with unlimitedmileage, then you dont have to worry about selling when you are done and insuranceis covered. In most states here if you are caught driving without insuranceyour in big trouble.To answer your primary question, a good dependable car can be purchased for verylittle $1000-2000 and up, depending on what you want. The route you describeis a total of about 3000 miles without side trips. I think that you would beable to rent for $200 per week.Hope to see you at Broadhead.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

www.expedia.com comes up with $1200-$1300 for two weeks, one way rental, unlimited mileage, pickup at JFK in NY and return to LAX.That's for a nice, new premium/luxury car. Not a bad way to go......
