   You're going to have to broaden your horizons to about 10 years, then the   
   price point you're looking at will supply more cars.   
      
   The odd deal pops up now and then. I was third in line for a 1998 Camry   
   in 2006, 80,000 miles and they only wanted $6800...of course, number 2 in   
   line snapped it up...
