00:00 - OPEN: Serendipity And Craiglist Can Help You Find A Perfect Used Car - Part II

It’s time to take another look at some of the fun, interesting used vehicles you can find when you let Serendipity and a quick local Craigslist search be your guide. 

00:55 - INTRO - Serendipity Search Explained

This Serendipity search idea is really simple, and it goes like this.  Open up your local Craigslist, go to "Cars and Trucks", click on for sale by owner, leave the rest of the search parameters blank, hit enter and then scroll down and see which cars have been posted most recently.

Following these steps is important because you’re just trying to view what’s been posted to Craigslist in the last few hours up to 24-hours.  In my experience, the really interesting used cars with amazingly low prices will be sold in less than 24-hours. 

The following are some of the interesting cars, trucks and SUVs I found near me in a recent Serendipity + Craigslist search:

05:30 - Interesting Sports Cars

• 1974 Fiat X1/9
• 1993 Pontiac Trans Am
• 1997 Mazda Miata

09:00 - Sporty and Fun And Practical, but Mostly Sporty Cars

• 1987 Toyota Celica GT-S
• 1998 Acura Integra GS-R Sedan
• 2015 Ford Fiesta ST

11:50 - SUVs, Crossovers and Trucks

• 2007 Honda Element
• 2000 Nissan Frontier Pick-up
• 2002 Isuzu Trooper

14:55 - Older, Funkier 4x4s

• 1984 Ford Bronco
• 1987 Suzuki Samurai
• 1992 Isuzu Trooper RS 2-Door

19:05 - Which One(s) Would I Buy If I had $15K To Spend?

Maybe the Fiat X1/9 because it was cool (to me) or maybe the Fiesta ST (it's newer, fun to drive and would make a great daily), but in the end I chose three: the 1987 Celica, the 1998 Integra GS-R Sedan and the Trooper RS 2-door. All three of these vehicles together added up to $15,300.

20:30 - Close - Time To Try This Method Yourself

Give this search method a try next time you think you can't find something fun in your price range. Great cars and trucks at an affordable price can appear out of nowhere, but they won't last long, so act quickly if you find something you like.
