A real response, broken into rows. Nothing here is staged — this is what one question actually returned.
where is the best place to find cool used cars in Los Angeles
For classic and odd old metal, Beverly Hills Car Club in East L.A. is a big, imperfect cave of vintage European and American machinery; SportsCar LA is another deep pool for classics; Fusion Luxury Motors up in Chatsworth leans more exotic, rare, and loud.
If you want enthusiast cars without walking a lot first, drift through Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, then filter for Southern California so you can see the thing with your own eyes before money changes hands.
Funny enough, I might have a few of these written down somewhere.
