Older, affordable, fixable cars sold neighbor to neighbor — daily drivers, beaters, buckets and analog iron. Nothing newer than 2009. No money moves through this site.

🚕
Taxi
A ride from a neighbor, not a company. Somebody driving to the courthouse on Tuesday with an empty seat, and somebody who has a hearing at nine and no way to get there. Nobody is dispatched, nobody is rated out of five, and nobody takes a cut. Every ride is free right now.
