Don't settle. I was in a similar boat last year this time. After a 4 month search found the perfect car, but it was in Cali (I live in NY). It was CPO so I was comfortable buying it without test driving it. Had the dealer ship it to my driveway. Cost me $1100 bucks for door to door shipping. Worth every penny in my book, especially since similar cars I was finding on the east coast were not priced as aggressively as mine. Good luck!
