Where do you shop for used cars online?

So I am possibly in the market for a pickup truck... I used to have an '01 Tacoma and I loved it (never should have sold that truck! *sob*). I am probably starting a new field project which will involve toting around wet and muddy traps, waders, nets, etc. So I'm looking for a truck -- the ideal would be a 96-01 Tacoma extracab, 4X4, 4cyl, manual transmission. Not that I've been thinking about this. ;-)

So I've been keeping an eye on Craigslist, and also AutoTrader. Any other good sites? Also, how many miles is too many??

We went to see this one, but the frame was all rusted :(





(Disclaimer... Sally should not be on DU or looking at trucks right now since she's defending her freakin' PhD thesis the day after tomorrow!!!!! :scared: Needed a distraction though!)

I am trying not to be nervous... my advisor has already said he is totally unconcerned... but I'm still a bit anxious!

11. ebay
Yes, ebay motors.

http://www.motors.ebay.com/

I found a used volvo for my son on ebay motors. A local volvo dealer who had sold it originally got it in as a trade in and rather than wholesaling it they threw it on ebay. We got it for a wholesale price.
