Steve Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 So for a bit of fun it would be great to see what we can buy out there for very little money. There are a lot of cars out there that are going for peanuts and there are some real cool performers too. So here is the challenge, what could you buy from http://www.autotrader.com (or any other classifieds) for 3000 US Dollars or less? The winner will be based on performance and price. It can be any brand too! Post your answers and even a link if you can. Remember it has to be under 3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cduluk Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well, definitely not the best "performer", but it's the NEWEST Lexus you can get for $3,000 on autotrader. 1997 ES300 with 179k miles. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=307153447&dealer_id=553494&car_year=1997&systime=&doors=&position=top&model=&search_lang=en&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&search_type=both&distance=0&min_price=2500&rdm=1320713366179&drive=&marketZipError=false&advanced=&fuel=&keywords_display=&lastBeginningStartYear=1981&end_year=2012&showZipError=y&make2=&certified=&engine=&dma=PROVIDENCE-NEW_BEDFORD&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&body_code=0&transmission=&isFlashPlugin=true&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&color=&address=02917&sort_type=yearDESC&max_price=3000&make=LEXUS&seller_type=b&num_records=25&cardist=260&standard=false&rdpage=thumb Kind of scary (yet awesome) that this is the "newest" Lexus for <$3k on all of autotrader in the US. Lexus' hold their value so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
