Good used car lot?

[sclitheroe]

So unless anyone has an engine for a 1996 Dodge Caravan sitting in their garage, I'm in the market for a new, used car pretty damn quick here.

Any suggestions for a good used car lot in town? I'm looking at spending around 10k. I was looking at the Woods Auto web site, and they seem like not a bad place, but I don't really have tons of time to do a lot of shopping around.

Thanks!
Scott

Pick up an autotrader and buy something from a private owner.. I wouldnt set foot in a used car lot unless you want to pay $2000 more than the vehicle is worth..

Yeah, except in this case, I need a car this weekend, so I don't have the luxury of going from place to place

I personally wouldnt rush this decision.. 10k is a decent chunk of change.. I'm sure you could find something on www.autotrader.ca I just think most used car lots have the worst vehicles at outrageous prices..

Maybe rent a car for the weekend?

Don't rush buying a car just because you need to drive.

stay away from The Gallery of Fine Cars...

Nothing but junk, they import the cars then have an unlicensed mechanic in the back doing anything to make the cars run...

A very sheisty business ..

I can't remember the stupid name of it, but it was on 58th ave right beside the chinese Restaurant on the North side of the road across from Center St.

I bought a run around car there and it was in good shape, ran really well, they made sure that it was inspected. The Sales guy called me a month after the deal to make sure that I was happy.

I think it is

Still remember watching his lot getting blown to pieces when Don Johnson made a movie here.

Try the buy/sell forum. There's a nice 99 explorer in there.
