Hey I see you live in Lee Summit, if there's anything out there let me know as well please! My dad works out by Warrensberg at Whitemen AFB which isn't too far from there so if there's something in that area I could have my dad look at it for me Thanks!!!

No I'm not on there Thanks! I'll have to get on there and see what I can find... I've been keeping my eye on Craigslist... and in answer to the question above Yes, I know about cars lol... I'm not quite a gearhead. But I love cars, racing, car shows etc. I will get dirt under my nails and work on a car.

I actually live in St. Peters... But I always just say St. Charles b/c most people aren't familiar with St. Pete lol ! I agree thought that people try to ask way to much for them! That's part of my prob finding one and I'll take any color but red... Anyways I think also that some people are trying to ask more b/c GM got rid of Pontiac, but in actuality they shouldn't be more expensive b/c now it'll just be harder to get Pontiac parts! Just my opinion... Anyways Thanks again guys I appreciate the help and if anyone finds a good deal PM me Please

<-----Wentzville here.

You are correct, the St. Louis used car market is WAY over priced. There's no logic to it. You'll find that cars in Chicago for example are $2-3000 cheaper and the car will be nicer with less miles.

If you want help, pm me the criteria like budget, mileage, options, color, transmission, year range, and I'll send you a few links of cars for sale as I'm always looking for deals on cars for myself and come across other cars that may interest someone like you. Just ask Zach!
