Check your local newspaper classifieds section. People often sell cars and car accessories for a fraction of their worth just to get rid of items they are no longer using. Check newspapers in surrounding areas that are within a distance you would be willing to travel to see or pick up audio equipment.

Use your local phone book or online directory to see if there are retail stores specializing in discount or used car stereo equipment in your area.
