What i do is keep a close a close eye on the cars for sale ads on craigslist via my iphone and i try to be the first person to respond to a deal for ads posted around $350 or less it all depends you know on the weight of the vehicle but ive found some real deals like this. One of my latest findings is in the pic ive posted a 97 plymouth grand voyager, i had planned on scrapping it i paid $335 for it and im sure i could have gotten atleast $500 at the scrap yard for it, it had aluminum rims but there was no way i could cut the cat off. Ok while looking for a way to cut the cat off guess what i noticed? The starter wire wasn't quite plugged in all the way(you talking about being excited) so i plugged the wire in and got into the vehicle(before it wouldn't say anything when i turned the key) and bam i heard the starter turning but the battery was weak so i charged the battery and vrooooom it was running like a well oiled machine well long story short i sold it today for $750 could've gotten more but i just dont like holding on to anything for more that 2 or 3 days plus i made $400 on it so what the hell. Heres the pic http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/...1/IMG_0774.jpg By the way do you think my truck needs new shocks or do i need a more rugged truck?
