How had have you looked for an EV? sure there are people out there like me who got their first one by having someone call me asking if I wanted it, but my 2nd electric car wasn't that easy, I looked for weeks and finely placed a want ad, after that it still took almost two weeks to find the one I wanted, of course I found a good 4-5 other electric cars in my area as well, but I ended up holding out for one that didn't need any work.

I've looked.

Hi, EVDRVR - welcome to the site.

I had the chance to drive a Force sedan like yours in May at the Ottawa EV Expo. It was a pretty slick affair - particularly the driver-settable regen on the "top half" of the go pedal. You could easily drive the car without ever using the friction brakes.

I put a want ad on craigslist, there are also alot of electric cars on craigslist, but they tend to be on the east coast or west coast, not in the mid west, EV classified ads are also out there and worth looking at, but I got my citi car just by telling people that I'm in the market to buy an electric car.

I found my Citicar for sale on CL as well. Here's one for sale (as of September 14th) in the LA area -

1977 CITICAR FOR SALE ELECTRIC CAR COMMUTA CAR

I can't believe that one is still for sale, I saw that ad few days ago then it was gone, and is back again?
$800 plus $1000 should cover any shipping charges, plus $900 for nice batteries, $300 and you should have all new brakes and lines, and $500 will buy a nice state of the art charger, and end up with $3,500 0r about the same as I paid for my EV with it's worn out batteries, if I wasn't saving to buy a house with two EV's already in the garage, I would buy, ship and fix that citi-car! even at that I might because it's a good investment, I know people around here who have seen mine that would pay that much for it, it's just a matter of time to get it all done.
