You could more than likely get this one for under two grand and drive it as-is until you figure out the battery issue. As long as the CVT isn't shuddering like crazy it's a good deal.

I would not use the current gas prices (although they're awesome) as an indicator. Gas being this low will only last until the next threat of war, or the next oil spill, or a Chinese economic collapse, or any one of a huge number of imminent factors, and it'll drive the gas prices right back up there. Then the car you just bought for two grand will suddenly be selling for 4 or 5 grand again and you'll be thanking yourself!
I love the insight in blue I'm sure I could figure the battery out if it's not a major issue. I have family in Tampa that we need an excuse to go and see.. Maybe the wife will let me haha. It says 4 cyclinders, but that can't be right can it?
