Anybody have a good car for sale. Looking for something along the lines of an Escape or Focus, 2000 and up, automatic, a/c, good tires, not beat up, non smoker, good title/not rebuilt. Prefer to stay with a Ford, but a small SUV type vehicle would be considered. Color optional except not dark gray that blends in with the road. Budget is $3000. Avoiding the dealerships that are asking $4995 for $3000 cars because I don't have time to play games and am not paying $299 DOC (sign the title over and write a bill of sale) fees. So anyone have something that fits these criteria? FYI? Why are there so many scammers on Craigslist? Thanks, kennyg

 

I don't think you can get a good used car for a wife. I tried getting one for mine and they didn't want to take her for payment.

Bump cuz I like ya.

 

Guy walks into parts store and says, "I'd like to get a rearview mirror for my Yugo". Guy behind counter says, "Sounds like a good trade to me."

 

I wouldn't trade my wife for anything! Now if I could get a new Boss 302 I might consider. JK don't let her see this or she'll start worrying. kennyg

That's pretty good, Ralph!

 

Not even for a Yugo?

 

i read your thread title wrong, i read

looking for a good used wife!

 

What's your wife look like, I might trade. LOL

 

It's hard to find a good woman and I love my wife very much, so I think I'll keep her. The car's for her anyway, so if I traded who would drive the car? Hmmm, your ragtop is FOXY! Back to the car. Found one that I'm buying tomorrow when the guy gets back in town. Keep your fingers crossed. Seems like everytime I find a car/truck that fits all my criteria, it sells just a couple of hours before I call to set up appointment. kennyg

 

Nope. In fact I paid out the nose to get rid of mine.

 

You waited too long to sell. Hard to sell a car with electrical problems.

 

Yep me too every time I see it lol

 

At least that model had a rebuilt front end.

 

[to self]Don't ask how it rides. Don't ask how it rides. Don't ask how it rides. [/to self]

 

Bought an 02 Ford Escape 4x4 this afternoon. Hooray the search is over for her a car anyway. Now what excuse can I use for my daily scanning of all the classified ad sites looking at cars? And thanks for all the humorous rhetoric! I can finally laugh without hurting. kennyg
