Places online to find cars for sale

Jun 15, 2004 Urza link
Let's say that due to a small automotive accident i am left without a vehicle. Now, i need to know of places i can look for cars online. so far i know of Ebay and autotrader. anyone know any others?

Also, i'd be most interested in a small car, preferably 4 cylender or a small 6. Deisle preferably, but gas will do fine. Any ideas what a good car that fints those specifications would be?

I strongly suggest that you spend just a few bucks (literally, it's cheap) and subscribe to consumerreports.org before purchasing a new or used car. Their info on which cars to avoid, and how to buy will save you tons of money.

What did you do to your car?!?

Anywho, as Forum Mod said, I'd make sure to check Consumer Reports first... Personally, our family has had very good experiences with Toyotas. We've had our Camry for about 14 years with relatively minimal problems, and we got a Sienna about two or three years ago. We're going to be replacing the Camry soon (probably with a Matrix), but that's just because my mom has arthritis problems that make it hard for her to get in or out of it...

lots of sites, thank you. And i plan on making sure the car has had a mechanic go over it before i even consider buying it, as well as consumer reports

as for what i did to it.. I hydroplaned in a front wheel drive car. My back tires started slidding, so wherever i tried to turn, the back end kept trying to go that way. I almost had it under control , but i was out of straight road. I hit the bank on the left side of the road, went up the bank partialy, rolled the car once and came to a stop a good 15 feet from where i first hit the bank facing the opposite direction of that which i started in. Fun fact: i went high enough so that the passenger side never touched the ground. The driver side however.. a bit messed up.

Pictures will be avalible eventualy. Hell, you'll probably be able to see me in the picture on the inside of the cop car. They're really nice. leather seats.

Update: I'm looking at a 1996 buick century for $385. The deal? It needs an engine. I happen to have a pretty good engine in the one i rolled..... Maybe. It started right back up after the wreck.
