Moving to St. Thomas on March 11th. I am looking for an affordable used car. I'm not a "car guy" so, very little would be off the table.

Check the Trader ( http://islandtrader.vidaily.com/) for used cars...avoid dealerships, if you can, as they tend to cost more...what is your price range? Typically, down here, an 'island car' may look ugly, may have a bunch of 'quirks', but gets ya from A to B every time...That's usually starting at $1,500...yeah, some can be found for less, this is not a hard and fast rule, but a guideline....I am a mechanic, so if you need someone to look over something for you prior to purchase, I can do that for you...

Good afternoon:
Marty;
What do you charge to look over a vehicle prior to purchase for a car?
Thank you,

$40...I test drive it, check all fluids for their levels, any leaks and proper color, check the braking system, including pads and shoes and rotors and drums, check all lights, horn, windows, wipers...even the radio!!
