It's quite handy, my friend! You can find just about all used cars for sale in your area, and you can put in your price range and such.

Well, I sell cars (mainly to commercial and government fleets), so I could get you a good deal if I have something you want.  You can search my dealership's inventory here:

Of course you would have to come down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to get it!

actually GS I will be in mobile this summer... so it wouldnt be out of the question if I found a good deal at ur dealership seeing as gulf port is like 45-1:00 away from Mobile.  But ur site is hard to navigate, should I use IE on it?

There's just one problem, Dark. If you bought from GS, it'd be a Ford, and thus gaurenteed to under perform and break down.

How much money are you looking to throw at it?

I spent 4k on my Subaru. 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback, needed a new transmission when I got it, so 6k later I had an incredibly reliable car with only 75,000 miles on it ( 88,000 now ).

Yeah, Mobile is very close to us.  And the site does work better with Internet Explorer, unfortunately.[/size] :(

No, when it comes to used cars we sell everything.  You would only be stuck with Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury if you were looking for a brand new car.[/size]

Typhy, your situation is similar to my original, I bought a Grand AM with no problems (1997 model) and spent 4000 on it and was happy, now I dont have half of that...
