    I need a car this summer for a couple of months. I was trying to find a deal without breaking the BR, so far with no success. Anyone got any pointers or ideas on where to find a good deal? oh, FYI the city I need the car in is Anchorage, AK, where the prices seem really high (monthly rates might as well = daily rates). thx.

    Just buy a random shitbox and drive it into the Pacific Ocean at the end of the summer.

    Buy a crappy older car that runs ok and sell it after your done. I imagine a two month rental would be expensive especially at daily rates. I had a shitty Hyundai for six weeks after some uninsured, no licesense having jack ass hit me in January and the bill was like $800 bucks. Luckily my insurance paid it.

    Edit: not fast enough I guess

    Check Alaskan newspapers online for classifieds - people selling a car cheap that you can just drive into the ground?

    Call the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce (if they have one) and ask for a used car dealer in town that would have really low cost cars.

    EDIT - Wow, they do have one! Call them - they love helping out with this shit.

    Sounds like you just need wheels - doesn't matter what it looks like.

    Good luck!

    You dont even have to drive it into the ocean.

    You can probably sell it in two months for what you paid for it.

    as someone who works for a rental car company I agree with everyone else in just buying a cheap veh.  the cheapest i have seen in a while for a month is about $700 plus tax so there you go.<BR/><BR/>
