Willie has shown that a good low cost i-Miev can be a useful tool to get chores done. He eluded to his hardship of finding an affordable used i-Miev and the issues of transporting it from a far away distance. I decided to do a little research into this, as Willie is going to have a limit as to how far away he going to consider is worthy of his time and effort. But for someone else in a different part of the country, the i-Miev EV that Willie past on might nearer to them, and a good-buy. The following sites are likely already known to Willie. And he is welcome to add or make corrections if he has the time and is so inclined. I started with a basic search for used i-Miev, and at each of the following sites, I used a search critrea of: - 78737 zip code (you put yours in) - unlimited distance from home (throw a wide loop) - include both the lower cost ES and the higher cost SE trims - selecting used from any source https://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchresults.action/?zc=78737&rd=100000&prMx=9000&mdId=45843&mkId=20030&stkTypId=28881&sf1Nm=price&sf1Dir=ASC&sf2Nm=price&sf2Dir=DESC&page=1&perPage=50&searchSource=SORT This site had used i-Miev EVs starting below $6k http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=&newSearchFromOverviewPage=true&inventorySearchWidgetType=AUTO&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d2166&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity2=&zip=78737&distance=50000&searchChanged=true&modelChanged=false&filtersModified=true This site had used i-Miev EVs starting ~$6k, but they try to tell you which are better deals than others. http://www.autotempest.com/results/?make=mitsubishi&model=imiev&radius=any&zip=78737&keywords=i-Miev&minyear=&maxyear=&minprice=4000&maxprice=8000&minmiles=&maxmiles=&transmission=any&bodystyle=any&saleby=any This site is searches all Craigslist listings, and the format seems easy to work with http://www.searchtempest.com/search?location=78737&maxDist=50000®ion_us=1&search_string=i-Miev&keytype=adv&Region=na&cityselect=zip&page=0&category=8&subcat=cta&minAsk=4000&maxAsk=8000&minYear=min&maxYear=max This site is searches all Craigslist listings as well but it is slow, once you launch it, you have to wait until it is finished before you can open links shown in other tabs/windows http://www.carmax.com/search?ANr=4294961473&D=90&zip=78737&N=4294963114+4294961536+4294961473&sP=0-10000&sY=2010-2016&Us=14&Q=da6d28ec-c905-477a-90b4-937fd5381087&Ep=search:results:results%20page This site did not find many used i-Miev EVs for less than $8k Next, once you have found your used EV, how to get it home? You could rent a flat bed and or vehicle to tow with and do the driving yourself (a time sink but the job gets done correctly without damage to the EV, etc.). Or use a car transporter service. One shipper that was mentioned in an evdl post was http://www.dasautoshippers.com/ If others know of auto shippers than have worked well for them, please let us know.
