On the topic ... I rarely would buy a car from a dealer. Too much premium and the few times that I have, there have been problems shortly after and the dealer refused to do anything. Not Porsche but bought used from dealer. As said, dealers buy or trade cars inexpensivly. They are going to put as little as possible in them to sell. At least with Craigslist, I feel there is some honesty from the buyer. And, price should reflect the risk.

I recently drove to GA from TN (about a six hour trip) planning to buy a Boxster that was purported to be immaculate - friends of mine recommended the seller and pictures appeared good. When we got there, it wasn't what he said. Ended up buying one closer to home that overall I'm far happier with.

There are tons of them for sale in central TN. 2000-2003 with around 60k seems to be a sweet spot.
