I used AutoTrader to see what was available within various distances and what used cars were going for. Also eBay where some dealers have fairly nice auctions and pics. Some private sellers were good and some not. Agree with the racer_d PCA comment. They tend to be more expensive but more likely well cared for.
I also used the websites of dealers within realistic distance. Some were very helpful - others not so. If the listed all options AND asking price I would come back. No prices listed or color only and they came of my list.
One Florida site said "click here for prices." So I did and some jerk sent me a return e-mail saying "Call me at 1-800-screwyu." Needless to say he got no call.
Just went thru similar treatment with BMW dealers for my wife's X5. BWW dealers were actually worse than Porsche seemingly using the web to get phone numbers.
The other technique I used was to "build" a stable of Boxes on the PCNA site to get a feel for what options I had to have and what was not required.
