    WTB: Small car

    I need a small car in the next month. Lost my truck and Toyota decided not to give me enough to get another Tacoma.

    Price range is anywhere from $1000 to $12000 depending on what it is, how many miles, etc

    Civic, Corolla, Accord, Camry, etc.

    MUST BE A STANDARD.

    Willing to entertain all possibilities other than domestic cars.




    Also looking for a 4x4 truck, plow is a plus.

    We still have the MX-3. I know it isn't ideal, but it isn't domestic and it runs well. Rob is finishing up some exhaust work on it this weekend. Let me know.

    Re: WTB: Small car

    Big Shirl's toying with the idea of getting ridda her Volvo S40...

    Gets 30-35 MPG, but it's automatic. But you did say you'd entertain all possibilities...

    2003, Fuck-me red, spoiler, heated power seats, 3-way power moon-roof, wood trim, CD & cassette, power everything, 4 cylinder turbo. I can go on & on, but it's got every option available for that model for that year. It doesn't have the top-of-the-line wheels they offered, but they're not the standard ones either. They were the middle of the road jobbies. Just passed inspection in September. Also just put new all-season tires all around on 'er...

    All suggested maintenance has been done. Just did the 90,000 mile jobby which included all pullies & belts among all the other things. Rock solid & ultra dependable. NEVER had any problems with the car, EVER. She's just starting to think about moving on...

    If it may interest you, her & I can sit down and work on a price. I haven't even dreamed about looking into it, but I'm guessing typical private resale is in the $7500-9500 range...

    $100. More if it runs. More than that depending on lots of other things that I don't know.

    If it was a stick, I'd say let's talk. Just can't bring myself to do it though! I'm a miserable sad person in an auto.

    All other possibilities was other types of cars/vans/trucks/wheelchairs/rollerskates, but still having to be a standard.

    Well that's a start. What else do you need to know?

    GLS, silver metalic paint, trailer hitch for about 1300lbs, ac, heated seats, black leather interior, 4cyc 1.8l borg warner turbo, intercooled, new water pump ( they break ) new fan, only syn oil, homelink, euro rails, fog lights

    Needs two new tires.

    Brakes, shocks, battery original.

    Has to work all the time, so no, Mustang's are out

    In all reality, I'm looking for something good on gas. Not supah-dupah good, just not a toy. That is a toy. Not that it hasn't crossed my mind, but you'd cry if you saw the driveway and roads it would have to drive on everyday, nevermind the lack of a garage to keep it warm in.

    Pictures help, what homelink is, what euro rails are, what you are looking to get for it, etc.

    Homelink is a build in transmitter that will open you garage doors etc located in the sun visor. euro rails are a standard eruopean roof rack system, triangular cross section, strong and original.

    Forgot it also has power moonroof, power windows, stability control, usual VW stuff. They pretty much have no options. Cooled glove box and on and on. I think the only options I didn't get because I really dont care about that stuff is the power seat and the electronic temp control.

    6.5 would be fine.

    96 gmc sonoma sls MANUAL 2.3l. If you look back in the wanted/sale part of nesr you should find pics and more info. Needs break lines. Only put on about 1k miles a year since 03. 192k sitting waiting to be sold or donated whenever I remember to make the calls. I can't remember what the price was but $400 would help offset latest tool purchase.

    Not looking for a project, but thanks for the offer. Has to be something I can drive to work from day 1.

    Fuel economy? My Sentra needs a new engine and $400 is a lot more affordable up front than $2000 for the engine.... I can save up for an engine while driving this. Do the brakes work?

    Sorry, can't bring myself to buy something that minted out. It would get trashed on my road within two weeks.

    Not looking for a project, just a reliable car that I can toss a whole lot of miles on without putting tons of work in. Cheaper it is, the more miles it can have.

    Have lines on a couple automobiles....

    Thanks everyone! Hopefully I'll be with a new set of wheels this weekend.

    Still keeping my eyes open for the right deal on a 4wd pickup (in addition to a car).
