Re: Good secondhand car/truck under $5000?
back on topic, I wonder if the OP could at least get one of the cars through International Autosource, then as Mr Pardoe says they would have one new vehicle to rely on.

Re: Good secondhand car/truck under $5000?
I don't know. BUT!!!!! I do have a nice little 1996 2.0 litre Auto VW Golf GL with a genuine 40,000 miles he can have for $5k. Belonged (this is dead serious) to a little old lady and has been sat for the last 3 years (she can't drive no more..she's got dicky peepers).
Metallic green with beige interior. Drives lovely...was going to use it for my winter beater for a year or two but I'd sell it and then get a $500 P.O.S to use for this winter.
