How to Find a Used Minivan for Sale in Los Angeles

If you are in the Los Angeles, California area and need to buy a used minivan, you may be overwhelmed by choice. You can purchase a used minivan in Los Angeles from an individual owner that is selling the car on their own. You can also purchase a used minivan from a local Los Angeles car dealer right off the used car lot. If you need financing, you should stick with car lots, but if you have the money up front you may get a better price by purchasing from an individual.

  • Pick up a copy of the Los Angeles Times Newspaper and look in the classified ads section for used minivans that are for sale. You can usually find a copy of the newspaper at a local Los Angeles county library as well. You can also look on their website (see Resources).

  • Use the Used Cars website (see Resources) to identify used car dealers in Los Angeles that have used minivans for sale. If you want to buy from a car lot, this is an easy way to view all of the lots in Los Angeles that have what you are looking for.

  • Browse through the Auto Trader website (see Resources) to look for listings of used minivans for sale in the Los Angeles area. You can also pick up a print copy of the local Auto Trader at most Los Angeles convenience stores.

  • Look at the ads on Los Angeles' Craigslist (see Resources) to see if there are any used minivan listings. You can even sort by area, such as Central LA or Westside.
