Buy a paper from your upscale part of town, and read the obituary page. Look for older men that have passed on leaving them with widowed wives and grown children.

A friendly call or visit days after the funeral can usually elicit if they might be interested in selling their late husband's car.

My neighbor, (a vulture in his own right) does this about every two years when he wants a new car, the bastard just scored a 2004 silver Cadillac Escalade ESV for $38K and its only got like 8900 miles on the thing. The widow knew it was worth more than what she sold it for, but it brought her too many memories about her late husband that she wanted it gone.
