Don't know where you live, but buy from Manchester / Liverpool area. Ignoring the obvious 'but that's cos they're all nicked' comments, the 2nd hand prices up there are so much lower than East Anglia / South East.
I took my mechanic friend up to Manchester on the morning the Auto Trader comes out, so we were in the Greater Manchester area by 8am. Literally then went through the Autotrader and looked at cars, 1000's all within a 20-mile radius. At the time i paid £1400 for a car that was selling for £2300 in Norwich! Worth the 500 mile round trip. You could make a business out of such differences...
