I am about to embark on a 2 month long adventure covering many miles out from San Francisco to Boston. I want to buy a used car that has the following features: 1) Is dependable and won’t break down on me 2) Has high resale value - I want to sell it when I finish my trip, and not lose a lot of money 3) I should be able to potentially sleep in the car (I also will have a dog traveling with me, so big enough of a space where we could both sleep, and that I could, occasionally, leave her in the car for an hour or so) 4) Gets good millage My price range is flexible, but I would prefer something under 4000. What cars do you think I should be looking into? Any suggestions regarding buying a used car in San Francisco? Buying tips? Ways to avoid getting scammed? Thanks a lot! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/roadtrip-question/51420)._
