AND THE WINNER IS ~~~~
A 2002 Chevrolet Prizm (the last year of production), which was made by Toyota, not GM. It's a one-owner, 90K miles, full auto, AND I paid $3,300 which is about $900 below the TMV. The car is clean, no rust, new brakes, exhaust, and I am going to invest in the $400 undercoating.
I did wind up buying it from my brother-in-law, although I became quite the pro (thanks in part to you guys who gave me great hints on what to look for in wear and tear when shopping for a used car), and also extensive searches on the Internet. I must have looked at a dozen cars, and test drove half that number, but before I made a decision, I did want to give my brother-in-law a shot since he did "find" the Prizm shortly after his hissy fit that "there were no good used cars out there." HA!
So--once again, thanks everyone for your input. Here's hoping I won't be posting a bunch of complaints about it now!
