$10-$25k new?  That sounds like and Indy or O2.  I don't think that
Indigo2s or Octanes or Octane2s were usually available new for that
little, although the new Fuel is.

Anyway, $700 is more than I can afford at this time.  I'm guess that
is about what $1200can comes to in .us dollars.  

We'll see how things go.  I was trying to put together a finacial plan
for the coming 9 months, but there are a lot of uncertain things in
it that make it hard to plan well.  For instance, they are talking
about tuition increases for the fall of $500 or more, etc.  And I want
to ask my girl friend to marry me soon, and that will take a lot of
money to have a wedding, but I have no clue what it would actually
be.  And so on.
