Post #223,528 by inthane-chan 9/7/05 6:53:13 PM Reply	I'm about to go used. Planning on e-mailing something like this near the end of the month to a bunch of dealers, seeing what comes back: Greetings, I am looking for a used diesel toyota or honda two or four door sedan. I am not interested in spending more than $6000. I am not overly concerned with the condition of the interior (other than leaks), however, I would like a car that is relatively free of mechanical issues. All sales will be contingent on final inspection by an auto mechanic of my choice at my expense. I am open to discussion on financing options. Hoping to catch some schmuck who is desperate to make quota near end of month, he thinks he'll make it back with the financing, I'll take whatever financing they give me then turn around and pay cash for it instead. apt-get install godlike-powers

AFAIK, neither one of them has made a diesel car for sale in the US (at least not in the last 20 years). For diesels you're looking at VW, Mercedes, some old GM boats (from the '80s), and big pick-ups (and a very few odd imports). Consider a small light car like an old Nissan Sentra if you're looking for inexpensive and good mileage. Luck with the search! Cheers, Scott.

[link\|http://seattle.craigslist.com/car/96107242.html\|$800 1982 Corolla wagon]. Sounds great - seriously. [link\|http://seattle.craigslist.com/car/96118720.html\|$4200 - new motor and clutch, Honda Civic HX coupe]. There are good cars out there for < $5k if you're careful in looking. It helps to have a gear-head friend who can go with you to check things out. Luck! Cheers, Scott.
