where should i look? [for a car]

[mrbrianf20]

so ive been looking for a gsx for a while and ive been having some trouble. i drove a few TSIs over the weekend and they didnt run all too well. im looking to spend around $8500 and want just about any 97-99 gsx that runs well. ive checked the classifieds on this forum but i was wondering if there are other places to find a gsx for sale. i live in minnesota and id like to stay within the boardering states (around 300 miles). im constantly watching:
the classifieds on this forum
www.carsoup.com
www.autotrader.com
www.craigslist.com
www.dsmstyle.com
www.team-2g.org

any other places i could look???

Did you type your zip code into these classifieds and then sort by zip code? Also, dsmtrader is a good place, but is currently down. What about ebay?

I would just keep checking those sites frequently. I've purchased two dsm's, and I had to watch autotrader and ebay like a hawk. Also, when you do your search, dont limit your search area. You might have to travel a good distance to get the "right" one, but its always worth it in the long run not to force a purchase and just wait for the one you really want. It could be even a few months before you find the right deal. Dont lose your patience man.........

Dont give up man. I have been looking since August for one and I atill havnt found one. Eastwood95 is right you have to watch the site like a hawk. One day it gets posted 2 hours later its sold....it sucks a$$. Here is the MN yahoo site, register and see if anyone has somethign for sale, http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/mn-dsm/join

I agree broadening your search to include all distances would help. It took 3mo of looking at the same links you are before I found what I was looking for. I found my car in Ohio off Autotrader.

yea ive been checking sites and forums for a few months. i think i might just buy a gsx with high milage and then do a 6bolt swap. that way i can get a cheaper base gsx and then have extra money left over for the swap.

Allow me to throw a lucky story at you. I Picked up a 1991 with a bad transfer case and a bad ECU for the low low cost of .. A TOW BILL .. title included. The only thing I do not like is the 3 bolt rear. Car now runs great after the ecu.. turbo spools, still hunting a transfer case ( car moves but grinds). NEVER give up on hunting one..
