I'm looking for a bucket with wheels. I don't care if its ugly, if it whines, or does not have air conditioning. I just want to put a car seat for my son in it and drive from school, work and home which is less than 20-30 miles a day. I know I am not going to get anything long lasting for cheap. I am just a little desperate for options. Anyone see something sitting to the side with a sign up or have a recommendation for a small dealership that they know about?

You're sure to find a cheap ride on Florida. They're everywhere.

The biggest thing you left out is how much you can afford. There are plenty of people here that will help you search but they have to know what you can afford.

Figure in insurance, tax, title, and license, then subtract that from the money you have earmarked for a car purchase. These things must be paid for and are non-negotiable.

A good rule of thumb is to stay away from those evil little lots.

For honest advice I'd avoid any "buy here pay here" lot. Look for cars for sale by owner and bring them to a mechanic you trust for inspection

As others have said, Craigslist is going to be your best bet.

Call the main office of area assisted living and retirement homes, as if they have a board that advertises items for sale by residents, and be upfront about what you are looking for. Health issues can cause the elderly to suddenly have to stop driving. Many of their cars are old, have low book value, but also low mileage. Often their families are not local and they just need to quickly sell the car. I once found a old but very low mileage truck at a reasonable price this way.
