used car buying advice?

Hey Tucson! Any corners/intersections/lots you know of that are often full of used cars for sale?

Just landed with my Aussie partner and we are searching for a good used car to take us around the U.S. We've been haunting Craigslist, but haven't found what we're looking for. This weekend we'd like to hit up empty lots where private sellers commonly park.

Thanks for your help!

I actually just drove by a few cars for sale, don't know your price range, but take I-10 to Prince, go east (towards town) and then left at first stoplight after overpass, turn left. That's Highway zdrive. Just a little ways up, I saw a few cars for sale, a late model Cadillac for 3500 amd another car for 2500, don't remember what it was, though. Good luck!

If you're okay with dealerships, I HIGHLY recommend Len's Auto Brokerage:(http://www.lensautobrokerage.com)

They've been in Tucson for decades and they have a great reputation for customer service. You can probably find something on the lot that you can afford, and their sales people are just the nicest I've ever met. I didn't even buy a car from them, but they let me test about a half dozen cars on their lot without anyone else in the passenger seat for as long as I wanted.

If you do stop by, ask for Willie, great guy!

Thanks for the tips, everyone! Erica - exactly the kind of thing we're looking for. Will check it out when over that way. @Jordan - thanks for the tips. I'm pretty dealer-phobic (and mechanically savvy), but good to know anyway. :) @ Cee - is this a dealership or just a place where owners park up? Thanks!
