I've been looking for about 2 month now and haven't really found anything to amazing. So where do you guys look? I've tried autotrader, cars.com, and craigslist and haven't really found anything.

Lets see... I found my 2000 S10 Xtreme on autotrader, sold the Xtreme on autotrader, found my 98 Z28 in the local newspaper, sold it on ls1tech, and found my 2002 SS that I have now on tech as well.

When looking for cars I looked on autotrader, the autorv, ls1tech, cars.com, ebay, and the local newspaper.

Also, try Vast Used Cars, LemonFree.com, and CamaroTrader.com or FirebirdTrader.com, I forgot, AOL Autos, there's a whole bunch out there, I just can't think of them all right now.

Well locally we have a little paper type thing called The Valley Trader, and I found both of my cars from ads in there. If there is anything like that in your area, that is your best bet. I never had much luck online either.

Ls1 Tech! That way you could probably know that the car was taken care of better than some others (at least that's my opinion). Got the Firehawk on here.

I found my Camaro on here and got an awesome deal. I've seen deals as good or better in times since. Ebay and Craigslist have turned up a few good deals, as well as Autotrader.com. The thing is you have to be willing to travel a little if need be. I flew to Georgia for mine and still saved vs. buying local.

For Mustangs, Corral.net is the ****. Check out their classifieds.

Just keep on looking. When searching places like Autotrader, don't limit the distance. See what's out there.

What's your price range and where are you located?
