Answer 2

You can look for cars coming off of leases at car dealerships and places sell their rented fleets or leased fleets every so often like Budget and Enterprise and other airport car rental businesses. Most of these have good bodies and have had the basic maintenance done during the lease. Most mid-sized cars from these lease fleets will sell for around $5,000 and most smaller cars from these lease fleets will sell for less than $5,000.

If you want a really cheap car, the best bet is a friend or relative who has a car that has been maintained and kept for around ten years and isn't worth trading in due to trade in value. It might be in excellant shape and very reliable despite its' age but the trade value is too low to part with such a nice car.

The Used Car lots are the last choice but you can find some rare gems there once in a while. Always have someone give it the once over and have them write down all of the things that must be repaired before you buy it so you can negotiate the price. The Blue Book value on a car assumes the car is in perfect mechanical order but might have some fair wear and tear to the body and paint. A car might look shiny as new but needs several hundred if not thousands of dollars in mechanical repairs.

Good Luck!

If you are interested in buying a car, but feel as though you simply do not have the money, a government car auction might be the best opportunity for you.
There are there kinds of car auctions:
Dealer only auctions --- only licensed dealers are allowed to buy or sell cars,You can not get in or bid without being a licensed car dealer or an employee.
Public auctions --- the public is allowed in.In fact,you usually cant by anything from public 'open' auctions because usually the pricing is too high.
Government and Police auctions --- Every day, the government confiscates, seizes and repossesses thousands of Vehicles.These vehicles are usually typically listed at 90% OFF their original value and auctions usually start at $100.

Four months ago,I bouht a near new SUV from online government auction.It only cost me $730 and i have not had one problem with it yet .
You can check out http://seized-car-auction.info ,That site lists top 5 Police auction sites and help you choose the best one.
Good luck!

Don't buy a used car from a dealership. There was a story on TV (MSNBC) that reported that used car dealers are the one place you should not buy used cars. Unlike private seller, used car dealers are the PROs when it comes to hiding problems.

It is possible for you to go into a deal with a private seller and the car to have some problem, but he / she won't know how to hide them and is just hopping you won't notice. But with used car dealers, they can HIDE them so even a good amateur mechanics can't find the problem.

The best deals come from people who are in desperate need to sell (in need of money or is moving) - newspaper. Also another place to look into is national car rental chains. They have strict maintenance schedule and HAVE to sell the car at certain mileage (even if the car is in good condition). Don't go with mom and pop rental center (they don't have the same maintenance schedule and only sell what is troublesome). That does not mean that all their cars are in good condition. It just means that if you shop around, you can find a very good car that would normally NOT be on sale.

Answer 5

I have purchased 2 different vehicles from ebay. I got a very go deal both times with smooth transactions. You can pay what you can afford that way. If you don't win one, try for another til you get something you want in your price range. Just make sure you check the feedback rating of all potential sellers before you bid. My rule is not to deal with anyone who has feedback of less than 98%.

Answer 6

Just takes time looking. Hope you're not in any hurry.

Best bet is if you know a friend who's selling their car, and you know it's in great condition. Otherwise, it's just checking want ads, looking at the different cars and prices.
Prices vary so much, depending upon what the seller wants out of it. Our grandmas and grampas who bought the very first toyota Camry in 1984, took great care of them, and in my area, want $2,000 and more for them. Not worth it, for a 20 yr old car, but they took great care of them, and they think that's what they're worth.
