I live in Southern NM and there are no good places to buy used cars here. I am heading to phoenix and will also be passing through tucson this coming weekend. if anyone has any recommendations where to look there for a 5th gen hatch/coupe, and perhaps a 6th gen 96/97 because i need to keep costs down, it would be helpful. also, any information on picking up a complete swap here in the southwest would be very helpful(b16a for the above mentioned car).

 

go to the southwest forum on http://www.clubsi.com.Im a mod over there,and we have a GREAT group of really helpfull guys in that forum.Prolly one of the most technical regional forums on that board.We need regional forums here

 

I'm from NM too and had to go to Phoenix to get my car. Even with the cost of flying it was still cheaper to buy the car there. It's a toss up between getting a car from a private person and not knowing the problems and going to the dealer and paying $1000 in taxes and getting at least some what of a warranty. I got mine from a dealer (Tempe Mitsubishi) and they picked me up from the airport. I wouldn't recomend that dealersip - but then again, I wouldn't recomend any dealership.
