I'm trying to pick up a cheap, reliable, economical DD for my wife. Want to spend anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000. Arn't going to find anything cheaper, and I just can't go higher until the kid's out of college. Prefer Auto trans...something like a Corolla, Focus, Sentra, ...best would be a Civic. Some Beetles are getting down in this range...she would love one of those! Prefer under 100K miles....there's an absolute crapload of cars with 150K+ miles no them, no thanks. May pay more for a screaming deal on a really good low mile car.
Been searching, and there's not much around here. Crap, there a lot of scams out there! I am already checking Craigslist regularly and I have someone else helping me with that too, so no need to bother with Craiglist links. What I am asking for is if anyone knows of a neighbor, family member, or friend that may be selling. Kind of "on the street" news. I keep hearing stories from my friends...."I just traded my old Civic in for a new car, you could have had that for a good price..." Hoping to find a private owner I can trust with a fair deal.
Please keep your eyes open and post or call me with any potential candidates. If you have time and the inclination, just go and check it out for me as if you were buying it yourself. I have Carfax, so VIN would be helpful, and I can move fast on getting the deal done on the right car. I'll kick in a little reward money for a good find too!! Thanks for any help!!!
