You did not mention a price range, a franchise dealer comes out on top, but also the most expensive.
Franchise Dealerships
Consider yourselv lucky if you happen to be at a dealership at the time a trade has just arrived that meets their requirements and available for under $10.000. a franchise dealer will not purchase cars for re-sale under $ 10.000. their main concern is having a high profile in the community, customer satisfaction, repeat business and a warranty available with every car
Non Franchise Dealerships
There will be great selections under the $10.000 range at non franchise dealers, small corner lots, buy here pay here type dealers, it becomes more risky as your most likely dealing with older model years with high miles, its buyers beware and having learned the steps in the buying process that will steer you away from lemons, there will be many good buys but also a fair amount that is not.
Here are some answers as to how these lower end cars end up on at non franchise car lot...a franchise dealer will wholesale or take to auction any trade-in vehicle that dont meet their strict recondition program and smaller type car lots will bid on these inexpensive vehicles
Buying Private
Buying private is buying AS IS and you must take vehicle for an independent inspection, if seller wont allow prior to purchase you walk away, i am getting far to much e-mail about recourse where buyers have purchased AS IS only to find cost of recondition added to purchase price made it a bad deal...
Buying from an Auction
Here you will find many inexpensive vehicles, i strongly recommend you navigate to PUBLIC AUCTIONS before you intend to set foot in one of these places.
buying a Vehicle $1500. to $2000. Range
While its buyers beware its possible to get valid value, the Internet or Auto trader is not the places to look for vehicles in this price range.
Shop you local community newspaper along with supermarket billboards you may just get lucky someone just having posted a vehicle in excellent condition that's no longer needed.
Buying from a dealer in this price range the odds are against you, you must have patience and when you find a car that you think fits the bill make sure you navigate to the Test Drive on my website http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html and study how not to end up with a lemon.

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. You can find incredible deals, and it is not uncommon for people to save thousands of dollars. whether you’re in the market for a new automobile or not.
You’ll find that, at a government seized auto auction, there is a huge variety of automobiles available for you to bid on. The majority of vehicles at a government car auction have been repossessed from criminals or people who have failed to make payments on government loans. There are also government car auction vehicles that are "retired" police cruisers or other government vehicles that are no longer in service. You can usually find a wide range of makes and models,
Not many people know about government seized auto auctions, so there will not be a lot of competition for vehicles that you’re bidding on. There are so many different vehicles to choose from, you’re bound to find one that will become someone’s next dream car. Whether you want to buy a car to re-sell, or you’re looking for a car for yourself or a child, a government seized auto auction is the best place to look for an affordable used vehicle.

go to autotrader.com and use all their free advice. you can pay money to check out a vin and see the history on a certain vehicle. i don't like dealerships unless i personally know the salesman. we have bought a couple good cars from private party. when all we could afford was 1500 we got a car that gave us no problems at all for 5 years and it still runs (i just gave it to my brother) the most important thing is to do your homework. check out the bluebook value for resale, trade and private party prices. it never hurts to know too much when you go car shopping. on autotrader you can pull up safety info on a particular make and model and see what recalls have been made and all that.

I have to go with joe c on this one, so your best bet is to go to an individual instead of some place like Carmax.
