    went to the bank, budget is down to 7000.

    found a 2002 honda accord with 38,000 miles for 6999, going to look at it tonight!

    That's a fantastic deal. Is it a dealer? If it's off Craig's List, it may be too good to be true. I just got done using CL to find a car for my daughter and I have some stories!

    its a private seller off autotrader. taking my Dad with me to check it out and make sure everythings tip top

    Bummer. I've learned when the price is too good, there's usually a reason.
