Anyone know where to get a cheap vehicle?

[Mosinguy]

I've been scouring Craigslist for cheap but reliable stuff for months but I'm either a bit too late to set something up or the guy never responds to calls/texts/or emails. Anywhere else I could look? I'm talking $600 cheap at the moment.

Auto and RV has good stuff but most things start at $1,500 it seems. Do most scrap yards do that you think? Where are you located? I'm looking for basic transportation nothing special.

Friend of mine is selling is Buick Skylark for $500. Works fine. One speaker is blown out. As far as I know, it's never been wrecked. If you want to get in contact with him, PM me and I'll hook you two up. He lives down in Greenwood/Southport

He bought a new car, so right now it's just sitting in the lot at his condo.

You might want to try local police/repo auctions cars usually go pretty cheap there.

It seems like there are plenty of used cars in driveways and parking lots for sale here in the Sellersburg area.

None listed right now but keep checking Indiana Public Surplus

Public Surplus: Motor Pool

You can have my car for $425.







For a month.

You could try the public auto auction but right now is not really a good time to buy there. With folks getting their tax refunds the auction prices are about 3 times as high as the rest of the year.

Didn't see the original poster. For you, you could see if Morgan still has his old beater with an heater for sale. LOL

Nah I'm good. I've been kinda lucky finding stuff it's just that dad almost never wants to take me to see the thing.

Cheap and reliable are not going to happen in your budget unless an uncle sets you up.
$1500 will barely get you in the game.

I don't know...since I've been on break I've been scanning Craigslist like a hawk and you find lots of cheap trucks. Dad just doesn't want to take me to see them. Some look rusty and the seats are worn and the bed is all dented up but if it runs, drives, stops, turns, and won't do anything bad while doing all that I don't care.
