Detroit, also known as Motor City, has an extensive history with the world of automobiles. The capital of Michigan with over seven hundred thousand residents, Detroit is also where three monstrous American car manufacturers call home: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.

The Detroit section of Craigslist cars is separated into four territories: all of the Detroit metro area, Macomb County (MCB), Wayne County (WYN), and Oakland County (OKN). The correlation between Detroit’s history (Motor City) and the fact that majority of the cars for sale listed on craigslist in Detroit are American vehicles is no coincidence. The American car manufactures have deep roots in Michigan. Vital to the local economy, the car manufacturing plants employ the local residents who build and own these cars themselves with tremendous pride. Throughout time, it was considered “frowned upon” for a local to own a Japanese vehicle.

The vehicles most commonly reported stolen in Michigan are listed in descending order: Dodge Caravan (00), Dodge Intrepid (00), Ford Taurus (97), Dodge Stratus (02), Dodge Ram (03), Plymouth Voyager (96), Jeep Cherokee (00), Chevrolet Malibu (09), Chevrolet Impala (08), Pontiac Grand Prix (04). This list again solidifies the vast majority presence of American manufactured cars in Detroit. When considering purchasing one of the above mentioned vehicles on craigslist, it is imperative to ensure that the car is not stolen. Proceed with caution if the seller does not provide a fixed address or phone number. Always check the car for signs of fresh paint. Chop shops will often piece parts of multiple damaged vehicles together to create one car. Although craigslist is a valuable resource, is not immune to the threat of scammers.

The cost of gasoline in Detroit is slightly above the US average coming in at about 1.75% or 0.06 cents per gallon higher. The difference is negligible unless you are searching for a commuter car to travel a high range of miles on a regular basis. If you are particularly interested in finding a car for sale with higher gas efficiency search the craigslist ad’s description for the terms MPG or Miles per Gallon. The higher the MPG rating equates directly to higher gas efficiency.

Detroit experiences both hot summers and cold winters. The cold winters of Detroit possess the threat of snowfall due to the influence of the great lakes. It would be beneficial to pursue a car in Detroit with an AWD/4WD or traction control system if you are required to do a consistent amount of driving in the winter months. Bear in mind, if you purchase a car in Detroit with summer tires they will most likely need to be changed to an all season or snow tire when winter arrives, which will be an additional expense to the buyer.
