Welcome to the boards!
If you are looking for a car, I would definately try and pick one from the "Cars for Sale" section here. Unlike craigslist, a lot of the cars here have a history that can be tracked via the forum. I wish I got a car I knew was taken care of, would have saved me a lot of heart - ache /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
Also I'm finishing up Uncle-Joe's Vr4 soon (white vr4 in the For-Sale Section) if you are interested in a auto/hx40 car.
Welcome and enjoy the boards! There is SO much knowledge here, and a lot less bulls*** than other forums.
I agree completely actually, which is why I joined. It's too bad the other DSM forums aren't as useful as this one. That'd be lovely. I shutter to even think of looking on cl for one of these, anyway...
Even though I highly recommend starting your search on the forum, my second option is *gasp* CL. My first car, 1662, was a huge mistake and I was just young and dumb, and a bit too excited to buy the first VR4 I found. My second search on CL, 995, proved to be a much better find, but that require a lot of research on the history on the car, along with a thorough inspection before buying the car.
Pretty much my point is that, the forum here takes care of it's own. If a car is for sale here, usually you can find the history which I believe is a rare thing when buying a 20+ year old car from a stranger, which definately warrants searching here first. Good luck!
And for the record my favorites are 1051, both of Gizmo's cars, dustyduffs, dc_style, and of course the One Lap vr4. Happy hunting!
