Used car advice

Well, my car finally bit the dust at 278,000 and I am now in the market for a "new" car. Preferrably something with less than 200,000 on it. Probably under 5k. I am just getting started in my search and figured I would ask ATOT for recommendations on valuable on-line resources. I am particularly interested in websites or other locations to find the following information:

1) Actual used cars for sale
2) Reliability data on specific makes and models
3) Overall ratings of automobile reliability by model year (i.e. in 1995 the top 10 most reliable vehicles were ....)
4) Anything else useful that I am forgetting.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

J

What happened to your car for it to die at 278k?

 
We were driving down the highway when we saw a car for sale up on a bluff next to a house. Talked to the guy, got a 95 Maxima with 116k for $4850. He worked for a Nissan dealer as a mechanic also (bonus++).
Oh sorry, didn't answer the question. I checked reliability at MSN autos but shopped mostly in autotrader.com. That's the best advice I can give unless you want to do the ebay thing. My suggestion is to drive around town and see what's out there
