Don’t even look at any ads from dealers. You WILL NOT get a good price.

Also check local penny saver type papers, bulletin boards, and, if applicable in your area, drive around looking for spots where people park cars with for sale signs (big-box retailer parking lots are common)

Also, the 3000GT came in only two versions: FWD-slow, and AWD-heavy-unreliable. They look good, though.

You’re looking for private-party sales. It’s easier to know the history of the car that way…carfax doesn’t tell you if a car has been abused, and often won’t tell you about maintenance. A dealer sure the fuck won’t. But you can smell a fast-and-furious ricer idiot a mile away…if you’re buying the car straight from the owner, you’ll have a better idea what kind of driver/owner they are.

Also, fuck dealers. Fuck ‘em. Add 1000 bucks, minimum, to the price of any car. That’s supposed to buy a better car, with major problems taken care of, but that’s not what they think. They think the second they take possession the value of a used car doubles, without them having to lift a finger.

Private party markets vary a lot from city to city, so without knowing what town you live in, it is impossible to say where exactly to look. The most common ways into it are park-and-sell lots, other parking lots, community bulletin boards, newspaper and penny-saver classifieds, and Craigslist.
