Need to find a daily driver for $1,000

 

[swampratt]

get 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.

Need to find a daily driver for $1k? Ha! I need to meet Santa and Rudolph on Christmas Eve

Those days sailed a decade ago. Only way to get a deal like that nowadays is to “know” somebody

Look at $3kish if you’re in the chitty used car market. Unless you’re mechanically inclined and can fix whatever

Very hard to find me you can drive home under $3000 now days.

I bought a car for 2000 about a year ago. A slightly older car, and 98 Toyota, but with only 148000 miles, nice clean interior and mechanically solid, I couldn't say no.

I just got a running/driving 2000 LeSabre for 1200 with 165k miles owned by an old lady. Those GM 3.8L V6’s are great for the $$. It had an oil leak and will need the intake/valve cover gaskets replaced. It’s doable for about $150 if you are decent at wrenching and can follow YouTube videos. Found on FB marketplace.

Ive got a 2005 honda element. Burns oil, leaks power steering fluid, has a code because the cat was involuntarily deleted by some crackheads. But it starts, runs and drives good. Id take 1k for it.

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.

My favorite car is the 240 260 280 Z
