$16,000 to spend on used car...ideas??

G/F needs another car. She wants either a used Jetta or Volvo S40. Any opinions on those cars or suggestions on other 4 doors in that range?

You can find previous gen A4's in this range - not sure about the realiablity though.
Previous gen Maxima's are creeping down
Passat can be had for a little above

Dare I say you might be able to scoop up a used '01 CL near this price?....of course, you have to worry about the tranny crap.

Always the Accords, Camry's etc. around this price too.

jetta's are really small inside...
an Accord would be a good bet, I suppose the Volvo would be ok, but out of warranty they can be a bitch!!
