    Down to my final 2

    Alrighty folks, I'm going to pull the trigger on a "new to me" vehicle within the next 30-45 days. Right now I'm looking at 2007 Altima 3.5 SE/SL and 2007 Camry LE/SE/XLE. Is certification worth it? Is there a significant difference in the long term reliability between the Altima & Camry?

    Vehicle research

    Other than edmunds.com, what are some good places to be researching vehicles? My wife & I are going to need to pick up a 2nd vehicle in the coming months and I figure this is as good a time as any to start researching things.

    Do referral links actually expire? My little brother sent me a link a few months ago and while the expiration date is listed in the email(01/05/07), it opens a legit link. Does anyone know if the referral actually expires? Also...does anyone know if they support Quicken downloads?
