Best place to look for a low-mileage Buick is probably an estate sale,
unless the estate sale is happening because a geriatric driver crashed
his Buick.
Well the problem I believe is that the public transpo might not go
to the places he needs to go at the times he would need to go there,
in a "safe" and timely fashion. He actually has little interest in
a car other than for this purpose as described below. He has been

Ditto - I don't know how it runs in the middle of the night, but my
daughter did NOT want a car when she lived in DC. She used the public
transportation all the time. We parked the cars and rode the busses and
subways when we visited - no problems.

Agree with the Focus idea, we have an '02 and it has had only normal
maintenance needs and a few inexpensive repairs since we've owned it.
It's at about 160K miles now.

I would suggest a Ford Focus. You can get a good example from the mid to late

They are cheap to maintain, easy to fix when necessary, and economical to

I did that. But, instead of a few times, I rocked it back and forth about 50
