is www.autosource.biz a legit site? or will you end up paying more money for the repairs than the actual car :P
HELP!Are there any good reliable sites where you can find cheap cars for sale?
The website appears legit. You may actually get a good car that you can pay to repair and still be ahead.
However, four warnings:
First, most such cars go to a body shop that specializes in fixing wrecks and reselling them. They will be able to fix them cheaper than you can, and will out bid you. If you outbid them, and then pay retail for the fixes, you will loose.
Second, you have no idea how much it will cost to repair the car, as you have no experience doing this. It is possible that you can buy a drivable car that has only cosmetic damage cheaply enough that you won't mind driving a wrecked car, since a lot of older cars get totaled by relatively minor cosmetic damage. If you are looking for a really cheap driver, and you don't mind a crunched fender or two, check out the site.
Third, if the car is mechanically sound but crunched, you will be bidding against salvage yards that can sell the engine, the transmission, air conditioning compressor, transfer case, glass, etc. In many cases, a wrecked car has parts value several times what it is worth as a transportation vehicle.
Fourth, and final, keep in mind that the car you get will have a ';Salvage'; title, making it very difficult to sell in the future, even after it has been fixed up.
So, if you plan to drive the car in to the ground, and don't mind a bent car, you may find a real bargain. But, forget buying one and fixing it up. You will be for big trouble.
Good luck!Are there any good reliable sites where you can find cheap cars for sale?
try craigslist, its like a newspaper for online, craigslist.com.. then select your state then city of choice, then type in the car your searching for, if not then try cars.com, its another site that has all used cars listed, its more detailed but both are reliable.. maybe carmax.com? if your looking for estimates, then goto msnautos.com, it will have a kelly blue book value listing and reviews for all cars, specs, and all. All of those sites are pretty good, good luck..
