I'm shopping for a winter beater, because I don't want my beautiful St205 in the mud and shiz.
I found 2 interesting deals. the first one is a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, with ~142k miles on it. not a single trace of rust and engine bay seems in order, guy asking 900$, I could deal at 800$ The second one is a 1999 Alero, same mileage as the sunfire, car is on primer because the rust was sanded but wasn't repainted, engine bay is in order, too. for 500$ My 3rd choice would be to shop around for a dodge neon. I would go with a tercel but they are a bit overpriced where I am from

My friend has a Sunfire... its ****... I mean it gets him where he needs, but there are a million other small eco cars that are way mechanically friendly. (to your wallet and/or repair skills)
he has been using it as a "just until my 300ZX is running" car. I will always back an older Toyota choice though. Good luck! Kevin This post has been edited by Soulend: Oct 15, 2011 - 12:06 PM |
