Yep, Queens has a boatload of car dealers. That's where I took my friend to look at several E39 5 Series, but couldn't find anything around $15k that was in decent shape. He ended up getting this great Audi A6 for around that price.
Oh, and I already scheduled an appointment w/ my tech for the inspection tommorow. I don't trust the "gas station" techs w/ that. They might want to fail her for her wipers or something and try to charge $25 for a new blade.
