Does anyone know of a website with cheap reliable cars for sale in Indiana?

Question

My family e looked but and I are in need of a cheap but reliable mini van? I have been looking but having no luck.

Answer 1

Craigslist. Look for a Nissan Quest or a Honda Odyssey. Possibly a Toyota Previa or Sienna would do.

Answer 2

Try craigslist.com or autotrader.com. If you can't find anything you like on there, you should consider going to a car auction where you can get good deals.

Answer 3

Used cars can be found everywhere.  But it is your job to find the reliable from junk.  People don't say, oh I have a junk so I won't list it in the GOOD CAR LISTING.

Everybody hopes to get the best selling price.  So everybody pretends their used car for sale is in good condition.

So do your due diligence and do your research.

Don't think that used car dealers are any better.  In fact they are worse.  MSNBC had a news story on where is the best places to buy used cars. The used car dealers were on the BOTTOM of the list. They are pros at negotiations (and you and I are rank amateurs), they are pros at hiding problems on their cars, etc.

The private sales (newspaper, etc.) were the best places. The seller will not tell you all the problems, but they don't know how to hide them.

And a private seller are at MOST they are equal in negotiation skills to you and me.

My 94 Civic can get 41 MPG (and I was doing 72 for the mileage test). The engine + tranny + suspension runs like new. It ain't no beauty but it is rock solid. If I had to sell it, I would not get more than few thousand dollars. This is the kind of car you want to look for.

Just take your time, as good old used cars are cheap but hard to come by.

Good Luck...
