Grandson stationed at Ft. Bragg needs car

Drive far away from Fayetteville to buy.
Lieth Cars. They have numerous agencies dealing in most all Marques. We deal with the Lieth Dodge in Pinehurst.
Not the cheapest, but straight shooters and competent.
Buy a new Hyundai. Great factory warranty and many models offer 0.00% or very low interest rates. I bought a new Hyundai Santa Fe 2 years ago and love it.
Used car prices are double what they should be at this time due to low inventory. Best option is to either wait or pick up a beater for a couple k to hold him over for the next 6-12 months.
The used car market is very tight right now, and for some makes the new car supply isn’t any better. Around here, Kia and Ford look to be in short supply, but the Lexus new car lot looked packed (of course, it’s just 3 miles down the road from the Toyota North American headquarters, so you might not be able to draw universal conclusions from the local supply).
Craigslist eastern nc. So far I am 3 for 3 in the under $2001 range.

Buy something over 200k miles and do the needed replacements/repairs.
Save thousands.
I have sent you a private reply.
Yep, also Auto Trader. Shop online postings on those sites using their good search tools for good candidates, then go to the dealership’s own website and search the same car, often they will post a link to a free Carfax on their own site and they also respond faster than they will to the mega-sites.
Always had good luck buying from a private individual, preferably from the older generation.
My not very helpful advice is — it’s a tough buyers market out there now. It might be “a bridge too far” but if he could hold off for a while he might end up being better off.

Only three posts. FReepers rock.
Go to Raleigh, and be armed, but it’s your best chance for a vehicle that drives off the lot and gets you to the barracks.

Get on youtube and watch some of Scotty Kilmer’s recommendtions, hes a good mechanic. No one pays him, he shoots straight and has a lot of personal experience with all brands.
I’m sorry. If he’s in the 82nd most likely he will buy a new Mustang at 35% interest and marry the first stripper he meets. That’s just how it goes.
Unless, of course, someone can slap some sense into him.
Good luck.

Download the app, search and start saving a bunch of vehicles that look good.
I’m a Ford guy and there a bunch of Fords in the area in your grandson’s price range .
Good luck.
Good luck. Used cars are selling at a premium. An 8-12k car is going to be a junker.
Pinehurst Hyundai are good guys.
