Yes, I'm aware of that. But there are a reasonable number of them available through Carmax in NC; I've already checked. More pricey than buying from an individual, but have been checked out better too. And we'll be in an area where Elements are VERY popular, so there's always a decent chance of a local sale as well.

That said, I am going to push pretty hard for a Rav4, but it will probably be a late model used one as well.
