Bruce and Peter,

Willie didn't mention anything about buying a used imiev. He has beenletting me know of his search and it was for a new one. Perhaps he willupdate the list also.

Bruce,

Price may be higher than Willie wants to pay, but we bought our 2012 I-
MiEV from Carmax (paid $8900) last Nov.  Excellent buying experience.  So
positive we went back there  in Jan and bought a 2012 Volt.

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

  This site had used i-Miev EVs starting ~$6k, but they try to tell you
which
are better deals than others.

  This site is searches all Craigslist listings, and the format seems easy
to
work with



http://www.searchtempest.com/search?location=78737&maxDist=50000&region_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.
