How to Buy Used Cheap Cars in Ohio

If you are in the market for a used car, but you do not want to spend a lot, you can look for cheap used cars in Ohio. Typically cheaper used cars can be found if you avoid using a used car dealer or used car lot. Instead, you can look for individuals that are selling used cars, used cars from a car rental agency or used cars up for auction.

Instructions

1. Browse classified ads in Ohio newspapers to look for cheap used cars being sold by an individual. It might be wise to look in newspapers such as the Columbus Dispatch and the Cleveland Plain Dealer, as there will be more cars listed there than in a small-town paper.

2. Look online for cheap used cars, such as on Craigslist for your area of Ohio, or eBay Motors. Select your local area to make sure you are not looking at cars that are too far away to easily obtain.

3. Visit an area auto auction to get your used car. The Car Buying website has a list of auto auctions in Ohio, such as the Greater Cleveland Auto Auction and the Dayton Auto Auction. When you buy a car at an auto auction, you do have to pay a premium on top of the winning bid amount. The amount varies from a couple hundred dollars to 10 percent of the price.

4. Purchase used car from a rental agency, such as Enterprise Car Sales or Hertz Car Sales. Such cars typically have higher mileage since they were rentals, but do have a solid history of maintenance.
