Default Used cars

Are the days gone of finding a decent used car for less than $2000?
Dont people still sell their cars privately for a great price ?

Under 2K are usually dried out after their prior life as centerpieces at the bottom of a pond!

If youre still interested...FB Marketplace or CL (unfortunately). You get what you pay for i guess

And bald tires with a transmission that is a shade of its former self.

Obama had a program, whose name I do not remember that took tons of cheap cars off the road never to be heard from again.

It is very hard to get a good used golf cart for under $2K. I think poster may have meant $20000.

You dont see many front lawn, For Sale placard private sales for 20K. Doesnt mean they dont happen but if OP meant 20K, the post wouldnt be necessary.

Just thinking back to my other children buying their first ‘HOOPTIES’ … my youngest is having a heck of a time finding a suitable first car.

Best thing to do is to hit the ‘country side’....off the beaten paths and usually you’ll find one in a driveway or on a property. Obviously off site. I used to get a lot of cars that way and people are usually more flexible on the price. 2K is a narrow price point but you never know

Cash for Clunkers was the biggest automobile sales boondoggle in history. Dealers made a fortune!

My neighbor up street in CYV has couple might sell? Let’s see 2 golf carts, 3 cars, and work van. Can’t get none in garage. One on street, two in driveway, carts in front side yard and van down street. Luckily not close to me. Let’s in CYVs in my district no vehicles parked on street, no carts in yards, and no work vehicles. O wait that was old rules, now everything goes.
