How I did it: I found this little beauty on Craigslist, took my mechanically-minded dad along to inspect the car and make sure everything was on the up and up, and then picked up the car the next day!

Lessons & tips: Do some research so you get a good deal.  These cars do really uphold their resell value, but you shouldn't have to pay $15,000 for a 4-year-old car!
