Buy used and pay cash.

Consumer Reports' used car guide (online or in the library), CarFax (unlimited reports for ~$20), Edmunds.com & KBB.com, eBay Motors, and whatever Craigslist you have in your area.

As a last resort I suppose you could look in a newspaper...

You should be able to keep it under $15K unless you're shopping models from the last millenium-- then you'd be under $10K. We've been happy with our Nissan Altima. Good runners up included Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Saturn, & Acuras.

We've also been happy with our Ford Taurus wagon, but I think we got lucky with that manufacturer & model.
