2. When you see something interesting close by, go out, take a look, take photos, and take a test drive.
3. Submit a description of your experience (up to 200 words) and include:
   • photos
   • the city and state of your find
   • if the car is available online, please include the URL of the ad for the vehicle
4. Tell us if the car is drivable.

Rules

• The car needs to be currently listed for sale for $2,000 or less.
• Vehicles that are drivable will be given preference over those that aren't.
• Extra consideration will be given to cars that are free, running or not.

The Goal

Our goal? To be the Internet's go-to place for enthusiasts looking for the best $2,000 car, effectively screened by the reader submitting the vehicle for consideration, then by the crack Automotive Traveler editorial team, for its inherent goodness.
