Avoid craigslist imo, too many scams and lemons. I would use autotrader.com. You can set your search to vehicles in your area say a 75 mile radius, and under 5k.

I got a really good deal using ebay... I'm in Nola but bought the vehicle in Houston. I got the vehicle for $8500.00 and the same vehicle(ie model, year and mileage)would have cost me 14,000.00 in New Orleans/ Baton Rouge.

But I did my homework and have history with the same type of vehicle. It took a year to find a deal like this. It was also through a dealership which otherwise I might not have done the deal.

30k miles later and not a single problem besides routine maintenance.

+1 on Autotrader.com. I've had great success buying and selling cars on that site.
