Is it any more fun to shop for a car when you have a nice budget to work with?
It certainly seems like it would be. I have about $2000 to spend on a car. I don't need much, I just have to have an additional car. Mine was repo'd a while back and I just had to wait until I got my tax return to replace it. It cracks me up to see what some people think their cars are worth. I see something that looks like it might not be a bad deal and then I click on it and it has like 200,000 miles or a blown engine or doesn't shift.
The good thing is, I don't have to do anything immediately. I can wait on a really good deal. My wife has a car and my son has an old beat up pickup. The one thing I have in my favor is that if I do end up with a bad car, at least it's not like it will be a big money mistake like someone buying a much nicer car is risking.
By the way, I am using craigslist and checking ebay also.
