Used
cars can vary greatly as far as sticker price goes. The starting point for a used car that is road worthy and running is a range of
$1000-$2000. A used vehicle like this may be able to serve as basic point to
point transportation. The cars will usually have high mileage, and would be sold
by a private party; dealers don't bother to keep used cars or used trucks of
this caliber on their lot. In this price range, it is likely that in the near
future you may face many or costly repairs, and will wonder how much money to
pour into the used car.
The next range up would be considered around a $5000 to $9000 price tag. The
vehicle may have high mileage, but could also be in good shape, especially if it
was well maintained by the previous owner. Normally, independent used car
dealers sell a vehicle at this price, and it will take much more searching to
find exactly what you want.
The upper range for used cars would be $10,000-$18,000 (always with the
possibility to go higher). If properly maintained, a used car like this should
last for another few years relatively trouble-free.

youth in neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia.
