Buy off of a person... no lots, no dealerships, nothing like that. With people, you have to do some real ground work and be willing to travel out of your region to look/get the car. Staying in your own area limits you to the junk you posted.

Local shopper papers are in small local areas, you have to go to them... Then hit the gas stations/post offices/stores just outside the city limits or in small populated areas - look for the post boards. Ask the people you talk to for more leads, someone knows a grandma with some nice car for super ass cheap, because she can't drive anymore.

Same small areas/outside of city limits, auto shops. The mechanics and shops often have cars, good ones, that they'll sell or they know who does. They love giving leads too, it's free work or money in the bank for them.

This is the best way, to find a great car, cheap as can be, sometimes mind blowing... I've seen it with my own eyes and I've heard the stories many times. Just recently, my partner needed a van to pack up crap for trade shows, he paid $2500 for a van that can be resold to a lot for $8k cash. Dig deep.... they're all over the place.

Don't forget about craigslist and online sites, a few states away will cost you like $500-800 to have a car shipped to you. With super good deals online, you really have to get lucky and be the first to find them.

Last bit of advice would be to find someone that does police auctions to save yourself the fee or just do it yourself and pay the entry fee. The trick is, you have to show up a day or two before and test the cars, to ensure they don't suck... the problem is, if you take the auction and the car is a dud, it's your dud. But - you can get some mind blowing deals, junk that runs for a few $100 bucks and for $5k - that's some rather decent cars.

Hope that helps...
