Tips on Buying Cars: Dodge Durango SF Bay Area, dodge durango, sf bay area

Question
Hi there,

I'm a European student coming to the US for 6 months starting in September.
To have the US driving experience, I'd like to buy an SUV, preferrably a Dodge
Durango.

I've seen a few nice offers on Craigslist around USD3000
(http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/cta?
query=durango&srchType=T&minAsk=100&maxAsk=4000). However, it'd be
really helpful if I could have some advice which of these cars is buyable and
which is not. It would be perfect if we could meet or if you knew someone in
the Bay Area. I'd definitely offer money for this type of help. My offer would
be USD50 for the buying advice.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards
Simon

Answer
Hi Simon.

I been down this road a few times with questions about visits to the US for a few months, there are many factors to consider, Insurance - International license -  renting VS buying for a short term, re-sale when you depart.

Let's start with you navigating to my website http://www.usedcartips.org/  and scroll down to the link that says " Buyers Beware - curbsiders thrive on free websites such as Craiglist.

As for you offering money, read my bio on my website, I don't need or help people for money, I made my score with homes in Canada and Florida, some people like golf when they retire from their field of expertise, I as a hobby like to  help people looking for answers in my field of expertise.

If you want give me a more detailed layout of your thoughts or plans for the trip or if you see a vehicle in the Bay area you may consider send a link for me to check for red flags.

I could not open the link you provided, if you respond, check the make private box again.
