Used Car Seattle Area
My 2000 Crown Vic has gotten sick beyond the point where it's worth repairing. I'm looking for a 1996-2000 era Ford Taurus, an SHO would be really nice as I've already got one, but I'll setting for a six as I had one of those also but was destroyed by some asshole in an Impala that was too busy watching bouncing boobs around Green Lake to pay attention to the red light and rear-ended me in his '65 Impala totaling my car. His insurance, State Farm, fucked me royally only paying me $1500 for it for which I can not get a replacement. But now that my Crown Vic is dead, well not entirely dead but worn badly, front end is sloppy and I've replaced everything and it's still sloppy, fuel pump is bad, and it's been in two accidents, I'm looking for another Taurus, no longer have four kids at home so don't need a car that seats six anymore. Any suggestions for good places to look for used autos? I found my SHO in Craigslist, I paid a whole of $1500 in it but then put another $4k into bringing it back to good condition. But worth it, wonderful driver and no satellite link to follow me around or shut me down remotely. I don't want anything newer than 2000 owing to satellite link and do want something the engine and transmission at least are still serviceable and have been well maintained.

There is also Ebay autos, I have no experience, but might be good for something specialized like that.

Deserts have better used cars. No salt. - My son-in-law wanted to buy used cars here (in the desert) and trailer them back to Minnesota where anything over a couple of years has a ton of rust. Never did, but not a terrible idea.
