Looking to buy a car in LA
Hi,
I'm based in the Venice/SM area and was wondering if anybody out there is looking to sell a car?!
Needs to be reliable, ideally less than 10 years old with under 75k on the odometer and for around $5K.
Does this sound reasonable?
Does anybody have any tips or suggestions on where I can pick something like this up (other than Craig's List)?
Thanks!

. You're probably still better off looking at the the recycler, autotrader etc. and buying from a private party. Add another $2000 and you can have my Ford Taurus, only 22,000 miles
