Anybody have any first-hand experience with it?

I have a former student who deserves/could desperately use something special.....as in I'd like to get a car for her.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I don't know how I missed this.

No clue on the fundraising but I could possibly help find a cheap car. What kinda quality are you looking for?
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Me too...completely missed it.

GoFundMe?

Indiegogo?

Kickstarter?

That's just it...I know nothing about using those funding sites. Do they take a cut?


I'd like to find her something used, inexpensive, but something that did not turn into an instant burden, as in having dump a bunch of money into regarding tires, maintenance, etc.

When it comes time for the purchase, consider markets outside of California like Phoenix or Vegas. 

I'll kick in a few $ just cuz it's you, but I also don't know anything about those funding websites...

Not so sure about that Stu-the costs for bringing in something from out of state are steep.

I'm sure we can dig up a cheap good running civic or some such. It may not be any attractive than Joel, but it'll likely work as well.

Oh yeah.  I forgot. CA demands steep "import" fees...  Bastids.   [roll] [roll] [roll] [roll]

I just want to do something for her that doesn't become an albatross that she's stuck with.

No additional fees to register a used vehicle from out of state. As long as the vehicle is 2 years old and has at least 7500 miles on it.

Yes, they all take a cut. Nuthin' is for nuthin' anymore.

Captain Obvious called, and he told me that while planning ahead for the purchase is good, until there's a wad of cash in hand.... perhaps said cash should be the focus.
