Searching
+Where to look?
-As a general rule of thumb,
Craigslist is always the place to start. That is where the best deals will be found.
-Second to that, you have the
classified section on T4R(.org),
eBay,
AutoTrader,
Cars(.com) and countless other sites of that type.
Beyond that? newspaper classifieds and local dealer inventory.
