Yes I told them the price was too low, but it was already listed and it sold within a few hours.
I thought about buying it and making a little

              Well now that splains WHY when I looked the listing had been pulled!  2funny Well anywho I'm still perusing the used car fer sale ads. Finding some low miles-under 90 G-bigger boats that Might warrant a look see. While my Brothers 14 V W Jetta is easy on the gas there is No EFFIN way I can wear my ball cap while driving it. And the Jetta's floor pan is below the rocker panel. Found a 14 Kia Reo that sounds interesting with a 6 speed manual transmission. One owner in the ball park for price. Miles under 50 G. Thinkin in todays market a manual transmission gonna be a Difficult sale overall at best. Prospective buyer under 35-What is that 3d pedal there and what are it fer??  uglystupid2 Most of the reason I NEVER let my ex bil drive my 77 3/4 ton Chevy pickup. 4 speed manual and he thought the clutch pedal was a foot rest!  uglystupid2  tickedoff RIDE SAFE.

kia rio is o.k. small car was considering in 2014 the hyundai accent (same as kia rio) out the door new price 15.5K and fairly roomy inside for front seat passengers anyways and economical.  Only thing I did not like about it was the dinky tires and NO spare tire included in that car since back then all they give you is a tire infator/sealant is all NO spare tire included in new car price, plus ground clearance is not that good either.  The hatchback version was more roomy inside for longer stuff vs. the 4 door sedan with small trunk with small pass-thru to rear seats similar to the pontiac vibe/toyota matrix just tad bit smaller is all.

I have looked at a LOT of cars for sale ads online after implementing the parameters I've selected to put into my search. Last couple of times I advanced the page on car fax cars for sale and while ONLY advancing to the next page the parameters magically changed without any input from me. Zip code price range and vehicle selection!  uglystupid2 Saw an ad here at my Brothers place and just fer chits and giggles I went to their website which they thoughtfully provided in their T V ad. Entered my parameters and looked at the vehicle count which was sposed to be close to what I was looking fer. Like 137 vehicles 25 vehicles per page for 6 pages. Halfway down the first and all the way down the 2nd page and page 6 stead of a price they have a bright red lettered banner-call for price or info or to order yer pizza. I lost interest rather quickly after that call thingy appeared. Give me the effin price cuz I am NOT about to make a phone call for a vehicle unless I can determine price right there when i'm perusing pictures and seeing IF I wanna add that vehicle to my list of potentials. Most-better than 94% of the ads I look at have the cursed price right there. Gonna winnow it down to 8 or 10 that Appear on the surface to be what I may want to drive home. Of these I may take 3 or 4 to a Trusted Mechanic my Brother deals with and have a look see underneath and have a look at the computer in the car. Not sure but I believe this Mech has a newer exhaust gas analyzer. And I want the disc brake rotors miked and pads looked at and run the vin makin cursed SURE I dasn't have a flood car. O K thanks-hadda vent a mite. And AGAIN preciate ALL the help that has been offered up here. Happy and Proud to ride with any of Y'all!  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

unfortunately in that 5-6K range you will have to go see EVERY ONE interested in and do NOT be discouraged if you pass up on 10+ cars or more to find a good deal worth buying. 

might want to check craigslist as well but at least around me within 2 hour drive, a lot of the mom and pop used car lots the cars are bought at the auction dirt cheap and most are junk not worth buying dealer just wanting a quick flip is all.  I think more often than not a private party sale will be a better deal than most dealers in that 4-6K price range.
