Hi. I need some help and advice on renting an apartment in or very near west Palm Beach Florida.

i also need some advice on purchasing a car or SUV for a few thousand dollars. With the current recession what sort of SUV and model year can I expect. Reliability is the main priority. Do I need to pay florida tax on top of the purchase price? I know the usual mechanical things to look out for but I would like to know about, title, inspection and any taxes and how to go about registering with the DMV.


Is leasing a good idea? Can I get lease on a Suv thats a few years old?
Anyone near West palm beach? How safe is it and what areas should I avoid etc..

Thanks so much for any input.
