When I was shopping for Dixie I just copied the URLs to a folder.  I also
ended up with a 'Form Letter' with all the  important questions etc.  That
helped me be more consistent and made comparisons easier.

I found Dix on the Auto Trader, I think.   The only bad part of that
experience was the huge number of tracking cookies left every time I checked
the listings!

Best of luck Rob, I know you'll find a good one.   :)
