We are used-car shopping today because our old car (2009 Ford Fusion) needs $3k of work, which at this point would definitely be throwing good money after bad.
We're at #MerchantsAuto in Hooksett NH. We bought our previous two used cars from them. We like them a lot.
First car they showed us: Nissan Altima. No good: no Android Auto and it's not possible to replace the head unit with an after-market unit that supports Android Auto.
Second car: Nissan Versa. Nice car, but too small.
