  Read the classifieds. Every
  newspaper has a classifieds section that has a section designated to
  cars. Some of the ads listed are for buyers and the other ads are
  listed for sellers. Check the buyers' section and browse through it
  to see if anyone is selling a used Ford Focus. Most ads will list
  the make and model of the car, the condition of the car and an
  asking price.

  Attend a car auction. Most car
  auctions are held on the weekend and are a great place to look when
  you are in the market for a new or used car. Buyers can
  purchase a car at a cheaper price at an auction than at a
  dealership. If you have never attended an auction before, it is a
  good idea to take someone who is familiar with how the process
  works.
