I have a disabled friend who is in dire need of a decent used car. Preferably something in a mid sized sedan. Not particular about year,  make or model. Just needs to be reliable and mechanically sound. A/C must work. Budget is $2000. Might stretch that a little for the right car, 

EDIT: we've managed to stretch the budget to $3400. 

For some reason the editor won't let me change the tag to Closed?

Yes, I've seen all of that. Thanks, but so far no luck. In the last couple of  months we've looked at many cars, traveled many miles and wasted lots of time on cars in her price range, but none were any good. We're checking craigslist and facebook marketplace every day. We saw one just today. Photos looked great, seller talked it up well, but when we saw it in person, it was just another junker.  This is getting to be the common trend. 💩

You need to understand, the lady is disabled and doesn't get around very well. Her sole income is SS Disability. She probably doesn't drive maybe 50 miles a month. But she does have places she needs to go. Doctors, groceries and such. She needs a car. Its taken a lot of scraping to come up with what little money she has ($3400). A year or so ago, that would have bought a decent used car. But thanks to Covid and all the economic issues its caused, the used car market has gone completely  nuts. 

The lady needs something that is road ready and reliable. She can't afford to buy something that needs repairs. She just doesn't have the money. 

We keep hoping, but can use all the help we can get. 🙏

Patience and persistence finally paid off. 👍

Today she bought a 2000 Ford Taurus SES. Body and interior are in excellent condition, runs good and everything works. This is the upper end of the Taurus line and has power everything. It needs a couple of tires and the windshield has a crack, But she only gave $2000 for it. She has plenty of money left to take care of those little things.  😃
