Default My new/used 100hp DD

After driving my SS everyday to work at 45 miles one way through the Cajon Pass, I was finally able to get a beater car. I came upon this little 2000 SC1 5-speed. I test drove it and was laughing about how much HP it lacks after driving my SS everyday. Well it gets up and down the hill fine and I like it. All it needs is an upper motor mount and fix the cooling fan 'cuase it don't turn. Talked the seller down to $1,250 from $1,800.

for a decent DD.

This is mine:
1991 BMW 318i
1.8L 4cyl. 138hp
5sp man.
30+mpg
Got her for $1100
Leather, A/C, sun roof, full electric windows/locks

She needed tires, a timing chain tensioner and basic tune-up (plugs, air filter, fuel filter, etc)+
