You can find really cheap cars and in a1 condition being sold by old people so if there are any communities that are for only old people look around there or I am sure they have police auctions where you live. Another place where you can check is at liquidation.com they sometimes have really cheap cars for sale. To bad you werent plannning a trip to Southern California in the near future because every year around this time all the cars that they confiscate at the border they auction off real cheap and I do mean real cheap. Try checking out the tow yards where you live too. They usually auction off the cars that people werent able to get out . One thing you must always remember when it comes to buying a used car , if it were a great car in perfect condition the owner wouldnt be selling it. This is why it is good to check out the old people places first to see if someone is selling a car because they always keep up with the maintance and barely ever drive thier cars to begin with and when they get to old to drive any more they just sell them for what ever. There is no point is buying someone elses headaches. When you do find a car that you are interested in make sure you have it looked at by a mechanic or if you cant afford to do that you yourself can pretty much check it out by looking under it for one and see if it is leaking oil then check the oil , pull out the dip stick and look at how the oil looks. Make sure it is not black and burnt smelling or you see water or if it has a gas smell . You want the oil to be clean. Then check the transmission by pulling out the dip stick for the transmission and with your thumb and middle finger wipe off the dip stick and look at the fluid in the light and make sure there are no metal shavings and then smell it and make sure it does not have a burnt smell to it either. After all that just look around and see what condition the hoses are in and everything else. If the owner didnt keep up with the maintance on the vehicle and kept things clean and you see all kinds of gunk close the hood and keep looking at cars. It is also a good idea to bounce the car up and down and see how the shocks are and really get under there and look at stuff make sure things look well kept. Once you find a car that looks clean under the hood then test drive it and I dont mean drive it like a granny. Take it somewhere where you can step on it to see if it picks up or not. If a car has no power then you know something isnt right. Ask for maintance records too this will also give you a good idea how well they took care of the car and if it is a lemon and always needing work. Never jump on the first car that you think looks cool or you could end up with a cool looking car parked in your drive way that you cant drive because it needs all kinds of work done to it. The most important part of a car is the motor so pay attention to that and not so much how cool it looks or how cheap it may be. good luck and pay attention so you dont get suckered into taking a lemon off of someone elses hands.

Go to www.kelleybluebook.com, look under used cars make and models, put in your zip code and you can find local listings for cars in your area. They list big and small car lots and individual sellers. Also try www.thriftynickelads.com.

i imagine this is authentic because if it replaced right into a scam they could be soliciting for money, no longer giving it. notwithstanding I somewhat have in difficulty-free words offered issues by ability of Paypal, no longer bought something by ability of Paypal. I somewhat have not in any respect had a topic with their approaches.
