Long time no see, you all! I have a feeling that this isn't the correct place to be posting this but I'm not too sure where else to. I was wondering could any of you recommend good websites to find used cars? I usually use craigslist, cars.com, autos.yahoo.com and thats about all. I'm back to looking for a J30 here in Texas (preferably a black one!) Keep a look out for one, Texans. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! Glad to be back on the site.

Also, I've been having this idea of once I find one I like, I'd like to take it to a mechanic and have them do a check on it. How exactly might I request that from the seller though? Specially if it's the owner, I can't really think of how to bring that up...

Welcome Back!!!!

Just tell the seller, you would like to take it for a mechanical inspection. Some sellers would let you take the car, others may accompany you.

Well Yoda, lets just say it's a long story lol. I'm hoping whoever the seller is they'll allow it. I suppose if I was them, I'd be a bit iffy too about letting a stranger take my car. As of right now i'm not finding very many in shape J30s but I'm still looking. And i'm going to have to take you up on your offer, Lineup!

keep in mind these cars are at least 14 years old finding one in mint condtion is going to take some time and if the seller dont want you to take the car for inspection have them drive it down there and ride with'em if they wanna sell it and have nothing to hide they will

-- I'll sell you mine! How about 1800 bux? Starting to think about a new car for the wife, as I am now d. driving the 90 Q45, & she the J30. Love to see it go to a Nico member. Shoot, to prove its mechanically sound, I'd meet you in Oklahoma or Arkansas or wherevers between St Louis & Texas. Email me if at all interested. Thx.

Shes got 220k and a few blemishes, but I just did the timing for the second time since I've had her, & she runs strong, all injectors firing. I'd drive her anywhere, fast.

I live in Saint Louis and know someone who may be interested if you are serious about selling it.

-- Thx yoda, I'd say she's in good shape for her age/mileage, there are a few warts on her from being a daily driver tho, some dents, some rust, you know. Mechanically, sound as a pound.

-- Puck, yeah I'm serious, my goal is one of two things: Sell my J and get my wife back into an Acura, or find a newer J30. One with less miles, move over all my stuff, the G rims, conical filter, and xflow exhaust, and sell the old one stock for around a grand. So yeah, either buy mine, or sell me yours, ha.

--Seriously tho, puck, or OP, feel free to email me @ [email protected] ... Sry 4 the thread jack...

I'll forward my friend your email, he needs something inexpensive and it sounds like you've taken good care of your car.

Whenever I decide to sell my J I'll let you know. Its been too good to me so far and I'm not ready to part with it quite yet. At the same time, I am occasionally looking at newer cars with better gas mileage that do better in the snow. Like I said, I'll let you know if I ever decide to sell it. I'd prefer to sell it to someone that will appreciate it.
