Yesterday morning we were a one-car couple. By the afternoon, we were
rapidly on our way to becoming a no-car couple. That wasn't going to
work out here in suburbia so we bought a new used car quickly. This
doesn't suit either of our temperaments. We're both grumpy. We've
never leased a new car, but we've seen on the carfax sheets that a car
had been leased and wonder if that tells us anything about its likely
condition.
