Cheap cash cars?

[papapepper]

Well the insurance company decided to go ahead and total out my car. I've got to give the rental back up Monday which means I need to get into a car ASAP due to work and having to commute daily.

Well fuck I should have prepared better but I did not do so. I've got $800 cash in hand right now. I have to find something decent. Any of you help out? I know some of you get some steals on some deals. I just can't seem to have any luck with that though.

Anyone? I even pm'd that guy about tote the note but I don't guess he was too serious he never messaged me back. I've got a very stable job been here working on 4 years now just got promoted to lead CAD guy and I make steady income on salary. Just wasn't prepared for this. I really don't want to start taking the bus again like when I started this job.... 4 hours daily on the bus/train on top of the 9-10 hour work days. Blehh.

Can't you work out a deal with a work buddy until you get a car?

man, $800 isn't much for the drive you are making.

Looks like it is time to build up your credit and actually take out a loan.

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but I heard craigslist is the shit!

Everyone I work with stays on the opposite side of Dallas as me. I'm debating asking my boss for a loan if all else fails.

I commute from Mockingbird & 75 to Midway & 635 Mon-Fri 8-5... I know $800 isn't much but that's all I got to offer at the moment with rent/bills due next week. Couple weeks though and I'd have about another grand to throw into the mix but I seriously can't wait that long.

I really don't know a lot about how loans work just common knowledge of what a loan is... lol. I don't have bad credit just don't have any credit so it's about the same thing.

Do y'all look in Dallas? Or small cities outside of the area? Because I can't find anything worth a buck in the Dallas area for $800. Today or this weekend.

Is the ins. paying off the car, or did you own it free and clear and they're cutting you a check?

Have you thought of getting a scooter for the time being. It's not pretty, but rubber wheels are better than rubber heels any day of the week.

Search between 600-1100, you can always talk someone down.

Seriously, go purchase a used car at a dealership. If you are set on your income and your credit isn't terrible, it shouldn't be a problem getting a car.

Those accords like posted above run forever.

It's the fact that I'm only 23 years old and I can't have someone co-sign since I've got no family. I have my grandma and her credit is terrible and my brother but he lives in Las Vegas and I know he isn't too well off.


ACtually I haven't looked into buying a scooter.... But EVERYONE rides one around my area of town. How cheap can they be had?

I sent him a message but haven't heard back, yet.

The insurance cut me a check and it about broke even. So yeah just have to take that as a loss.

I'm not sure dude, but it's got to be cheaper all the way around (cost,gas,ins...).
