How would you like to purchase a red Jeep in Texas for less than $10,000? Perhaps you reside in Florida and would like to find a Nissan to fit your budget.  No matter where you live, nearly any type of vehicle can be located by searching Craigslist used cars for sale by owner.

Dealers and owners list cars and trucks for sale on Craigslist. The buyer can search for the make and model of the vehicle and can also set a price range to use during the search. To view any available photos or images of a vehicle, a search setting allows the buyer to view a photo if the owner has made one available.  Another option for the search is to type in a specific year at the beginning of the search.

An example of a specific craigslist car search is: a car buyer residing in Colorado desires to purchase a 1990 White Honda Civic. The Colorado car buyer can search for the car by entering the words, “white Honda Civic” and the year, “1990” in the space provided on craigslist.  If the specific vehicle is available, search results will provide the information for the buyer.

If interested, the buyer may also search nearby areas for the same vehicle. Typically, the buyer must be willing to travel to the vehicle site to view and drive the car. If the Colorado car buyer did not want to spend any more than $15,000 for the 1990 Honda Civic, the amount “$15,000” would be entered as the maximum price in the search settings.

Car buyers have many options using Craigslist and can find a variety of cars for sale by owners and dealers.   Vehicles can be located in or around the buyer’s hometown and may also be located in any area specified by the car buyer during a search on Craigslist.
