ebay...short ad with very few details.

Contacted owner, found the owner previous to that here, talked to him.

Checked the (then current owner's refs) including a guy that had driven the car for 3 hours but didn't buy (with whom I am still friends)

Craigslist. The guy was in a different city. He sent me pics as requested and brought the car to me for delivery - straight to the dealer for PPI while we had lunch. PPI was OK so we completed the purchase.

I found mine on Cars.com, but also scoured Edmunds, autotrader and ebay for about 6 months before I found the one I wanted.

ebay...I was in the market, and one of the cleanest examples in my budget was practically next door to where I work. Private sale, I went over there and we made a deal outside of ebay.

Good luck,

Craigslist - got lucky and saw a dealer ad 2 minutes after he posted, called and made arrangements to see it, scheduled a PPI, sealed the deal.

I've also found them on cars.com and autotrader.com before.

A guy posted that he was thinking about selling his car, so I sent him a PM. We worked out a deal and the car was never listed for sale publicly.

Later, Steve
