Car finding services?... - Automotive - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

spainmedman · 07-03-2012, 12:24 AM

Anybody ever use one or know about car finding services? I'm in the states, I am looking for a couple low mileage 90's Hondas.

Do they just look all over the internet like I have or do they have some other ways to find cars?

An old bank of mine (actually a credit union) has a car brokerage service where you tell em what you want and they find it for you. I think its free so long as the loan is through the certain institution. I'm sure you could find a bank that would be more than happy to sign you up for a loan.

however a 90's car? With low miles? Autotrader/Carmax (carmax will ship a car cross country if you so wish[for a fee])

hiya, spainmed, you may want to see if there are any honda owners clubs, thats where you will find the nicer older cars, good luck, regards and peace s2

They will just go to the closest auto auction and buy one.

Also they will find one through their dealer partner and negotiate a deal with profit for them.

If you can't find one, then who cares how they find it...? just buy it if they come through.

I am not in a hurry for the cars. I just want to find the right ones.

I was wondering how they look for them. I'll try my credit union and see what they have.

I have been checking craigs list but good ones go fast.

Autotrader and cars.com seem to have the most listings.

On Ebay I missed out on a 1993 Honda Accord EX with 13k on it, almost a brand new 1993, it went for $11,000. I bid 9,500.....

Dude, you must not know Hondas

Yes I bid a lot but did you see I got out bid?

A 93 Honda Accord EX with 100k on it in excellent condition normally would go for about $2500.
The one I bid one was like new. I have had 2 Hondas go over 350 thousand miles.

Still wondering how these services actually work. I might email one and see, they might just be for super pricey collector cars.

My brother bought a 93 Accord with 100k on the clock.
Some oil changes, some tires and a clutch got him to 200k.
Last seen still getting 35+mpg with 250k on the clock.
