Back when I stayed in ky a couple years ago, good little running cars could be found for $1500 or so quite often, sometimes less. Here in oklahoma people are selling cars that don't even run for more than that, and for 3500 I couldn't even find a runner on marketplace last year, doesn't help that it's full of scammers and people who don't reply or ghost ya either. I'd still like to find a running car, even if it's ugly as can be for 2k-2500. I don't know what it is about oklahoma but even with this big family of my wifes and their friends, no one has knew anyone selling anything for the past year.Very hard to find me you can drive home under $3000 now days.
My favorite car is the 240 260 280 Zget on craigslist and look under barter and under auto parts and facebook as I have heard has really great deals.
I see cheap cars in those places often.
Or go to an auction.
Arrow wrecker service and Puckets both in okc have auctions all the time and I have bought dozens of vehicles from both places for way under 1K.
You can get on a mailing list with them or even go in and get a list of the cars they will have on the auction block.
Arrow wrecker got to know me all too well and would call me and ask if I was coming to the auction when they had a Nissan/Datsun Z car.
