Default im new here...and had a question...

Well I'm new & I currently own a 1973 Plymouth Valiant, but I'm a new driver and those older cars are very difficult to drive...Very nice looking, but very difficult...I have been looking to get an Acura Integra, but I haven't been able to find one within my price range, my mileage range, or in San Diego...I don't have much money to spend on it...but I was just wondering if anybody was looking to sell there Integra within San Diego or if somebody could tell me where i can get good deals on them? Don't kill me if I'm not allowed to ask this, I am very sorry if so... Thank You to anyone that can help.

Heather

Well you can check on www.craigslist.org Look for the closest location to you and then go to cars+trucks.

i just got an integra for 3500 bucks i know this guy in idaho that kinda does this thing where you give him what money you have and he will find you the car you want and the color you want for that price. it might be a salvaged car but he puts everything to stack and makes sure everything is running

Welcome to HAN. Enjoy your stay with us.

I would be particularly wary about the cars that show up on Craigslist nowadays. Since the for sale forum moves so fast (300+ posts/day!), I'd read with a healthy helping of skepticism. On the SF board, CL listings have become rife with less-than-honest sellers IMHO. So be careful.

With all the proper maintenance, these cars will run for a long, long time. So in your search, I'd be adamant about the car's service history...if there's no documentation, then I'd keep looking.

I'd also try autotrader.com. It has a more sophisticated search engine than CL, and in general, sellers seem to be more forthcoming. I found my 97 LS through Autotrader, and things went beautifully.

Good Luck in your search.
