Here's my wish list, in order of importance:
(1) Clean title
(2) Foreign (preferably Japanese or Hyundai)
(3) Under 125k miles
(4) Power windows/locks
(5) manual transmission (just preferred)

I'm not a stickler for cosmetics, only the mechanical condition of the car. I'm tired of dealing with Craigslist crazies, so I thought I'd post a "wanted" as opposed to looking at the others' ads. Worth a try.
