Guest FooFooMaru Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm looking to purchse either vibe or matrix, whichever comes faster and for better deal. How do you guys go about finding a car? Craigslist didn't have anything. Autotrader comes up with little to none. Should I search forums? Just seeing how you all go about it. Or if someone has one on here and hasn't put it in corral. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Forums and craigslist are my main sources. Try google too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 You'll be hard pressed to find one under 12k. I just sold our 2004 Matrix w/ 60k on it for $10k, it was a manual, last month and when I was comparing prices to price mine, it was hard to find them. Sorry you weren't looking a few months ago, we just sold ours in august. great car, lots of room, awesome mileage, etc, no complaints, good luck finding one.

Flyin Miata Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Manuals are a lot less common than autos as well. When I worked at the Toyota dealership I only drove a handful of manuals, seemed like almost all of them were auto. Not sure if there were more Vibe's in manual though...

Guest FooFooMaru Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 thread jack Have you looked at the Honda fits? they are very nice cars for very cheap. /thread jack Nope, I haven't. Figured their price would be a bit out of my range considering they haven't been around for awhile. I'll look. Thanks! I'm open to other options. I'm not aware of all cars out there. I was on hunt for a nice fast car recently, only recent have I searched for dependable, gas saving, econ car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 you can get a base model which would probably be a 5 speed for about 12k I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in the same boat. After I get rid of my Jetta i was thinking about something decently quick (insert LT1/LS1, Fox, Cobra) and nice but if im going to keep it for semi-longterm I have to prepare for rediculous gas prices. Its only a matter of time before gas gets over 3.00 a gallon regularly, then 3.50, then 4.00 etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Try searching on cars.com It is worth searching for on a weekly basis. Carmax has a webpage too for searching their inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
