Where can I find a cheap car???

Question

is there any good dealerships that I make good deals with? Like I dont want a car over 5,000.

I tryed craigslist and ebay.

I like little cute cars like Hondas

Answer 1

Craigslist is the best place. If you can't find any Hondas on there ,that you like, in your price range, you need to look again. It's the easiest way to search and it appears to have the best deals as well. Autotrader.com and recycler.com are your next choices. E bay is all over the place and you have to bid on your car without even seeing it first. Doesn't sound like a wise used car buying decision to me.

Answer 8

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...

Answer 9

Police auction.

Answer 10

AutoTrader.com

Answer 11

The recycler.  Recycler .com

Answer 12

I still think you find the best deals in the newspaper classifieds.  Make sure you take it to a mechanic to give it a "once over" before you commit to buy it!
