Hacking the Used Car Purchase
But what about the time investment needed in finding an acceptable car on Craigslist compared to finding one from a dealer?<p>If you're spending something like 100 bucks and 20 extra hours over three weeks checking out N more cars that don't pan out because {the guy lied about the condition of the car, the guy selling it is really sketchy, other random reasons}, then is it still worth it to save an extra 1-2k?<p>What I'm trying to ask basically is "but what kind of opportunity costs are involved in these hacks, and when does it stop being viable"?
