where to find cheap cars?

[brentwoodbc]

gonna sound stupid butttt.
Ive owned a few cars now, always bought them off kijiji/craigslist....always gotten a good deal and sold for more money.

I get bored of cars and enjoy cleaning them up/fixing odd little thing so a little work isnt an issue for me.


I recently went to a public auction with a friend and while I was there I didnt see any "great deals" but when I viewed the results online I noticed a couple that were decent.

is there something Im missing? somewhere else to find cars? Im tired of seeing a good deal online and it selling before I can even get there.

starting to lean towards auction, anyone have experience with that?
or is there somewhere trade in's go? ANy other tools that small lots etc use?

long shot but heh im bored.

i found that if you spot something that looks neglected while just driving around it is possible to make an offer and take a special something off someone's hands. just make sure you have the cash your offering :-P
