a somewhat reliable cheap car i wont mind wrapping around a telephone pole? - GoFuckYourself.com

pushpills · 05-05-2004, 04:09 PM

the cars i have now (acura and camaro, got rid of my grand prix) i like to be somewhat careful with.

i'd like another car i can drive sometimes and more importantly lend out to friends....a city car i wont mind fucking up beyond recognition

3k or under.........

any ideas? i looked up civics but the closest i could find was 3k with 130k miles on it for a 95....

any other ideas?

A VW or Golf maybe? You should be able to find something in that price range.

i just looked those up, worth considering maybe....

i dont want it to look too bad cuzz i'm parking it next to my cool cars

might grab a neon, i have had one before, they look fine, they run into pleanty of problems after 50k though if i can find some idiot to sell me theirs with 50k i'll grab it.

anything else i should check?

i bet everyone wants to be friends with you.. buying a car to lend to them..fuck why didnt I have freinds like that when I was a youngster

If you want a car that handles like a gocart, and one that enjoys engine swaps and 11 second quarter miles, get a honda CRX.. 91 SI model. Usually under 3k if you live in the US and they're stock.

Just dont put a bodykit on it, or I'll be forced to kill you.

eeegaaad...

i wouldnt park that near my cars. it's lookin like neon so far evne though i really dont want to pay for repairs on tha tlittle shit toy....

i just want something that can handle like 3-5k over the next 6 months with not too much upkeep.

cant let my friends drive my current cars, and i dont like driving either of em in the winter around here really.

if i did get that car i'd probably never drive it myself more than the trip back from the buy.

these are the people i laugh at

Get a Geo Metro or a Dodge Omni. Friends would have to be pretty desperate to borrow either of those but they are solid, cheap cars that will last to about 150k miles.

Dude you can get a 90-92 ford explorer for $3-4k

Vitasoy · 05-05-2004, 04:45 PM

I'd go for that civic you mentioned or maybe look for a older make

pushpills · 05-05-2004, 04:59 PM

$3,995, 4-door 4X4 SUV, 109331 miles, AUTO 4SPD, 4.0L I6. Stock# 30047A. ...

honda. if you can't find a honda under $3k, you need to look harder.

reynold · 05-05-2004, 05:07 PM

I'm sure you'll find a Honda for less than 3k. Goodluck!
