so any feedback on what used car to look for no older than 2008, no more than 75,000 miles in the $15k range +- a couple grand ?

My wifes Altima V6 is simply great in the snow. Far better than my 2009 Camry V6. Both have TC too. Hers is a 2012 but that body style was around for a long time and can easily be had for $15,000. So many of them are soild with 4cyl's so that makes the V6 models sell at a premium price. We traded in a 2005 with a v6 and was surprised at the difference in value. If you do go the Altima route, stick with the previous gen cars. 2001 - 2005 had issues with rust in the floor boards. Ask me how I know.
