Know Us
We’re a husband-and-wife team and lifelong car geeks.
After going through the exhausting process of used car shopping ourselves (and learning many lessons the hard and expensive way), we created The Local Car newsletter to remove a huge layer of stress- car selection. Every list is local in its DNA and carefully curated with a lot of love and care.
Our goal is simple: help you find a quality used car faster, avoid common mistakes, and shop with confidence. We don’t just share listings — we also pair them with recommendations from vetted local mechanics and car-related services so you have support at every step.
We encourage you to use every resource we offer. This isn’t just a list of cars. It’s a smarter way to buy one.
You can also check out our car shopping blog, Cars & Economics. It blends over 20 years of car brokering experience with advanced economic principles. The result? Practical insights that show you how to lose less money and drive more car — just like the top 1% do.
