you can get a 04-05 much cheaper. Just make sure they have the rear end fixed from GM. 06-07 have the updated rear end.

There was one not to long ago in VA for like 18 i think. Decent mileage too.

Well test drove a 350z and hated it. It felt slower then my 92 civic and didn't like anything about the interior of the car and then went and drove a 05ish legacy gt and it is one nice car but that exact one wasn't for me but gonna go look at a firehawk today I found and I don't like it I think im going to hold off on getting another car and keep driving my civic and start building a race car

I think Krazy on here is trying to sell his TBSS... I don't think he's asking mroe then 15 for it, maybe that? Those are fun to drive around in, and could tow an open car trailer without any issues, if ya need that ability later down the road.

If you want something cheap, look for a early 200x cavalier, you can buy one of those for under 1500 and drive it to about 200K with next to no investment.. and put the $ into building your race car or whatever ya want...

Personally I drive an 08 2500 ram 4x4 with the 6.7 diesel. Knock on wood it's been a great truck so far, about 47500 on it now with no issues. It's a little overkill to drive every day, and it only gets me about 17 mpg on the highway unloaded, about 15 around town, but it is happy with 10K on the trailer hitch and that's what I wanted it to do.

I have thought about a beater to drive every day... but right now I'm still in the air with work.. they may not move, or they may move... if they move one location they were looking at is 3.2 miles from my house, in that case I'm building a motorized mountain bike to take to work anytime it's not raining/snowing LOL 80+ mpg, and it will go 35 mph, so it will get me to work in about 5 minutes, and I can go back and forth for about 2 and a half weeks, on a gallon of gas.

Went and looked at the firehawk and it was a p.o.s. has 35k miles on it and they wanted 14.5 for it. The hood was cracked in four places by the nostrils had two clear spots that have chipped away to about the size of your hand and the interior doors and seats were starting to crack so guess its time to start building an x275 car and come back to this list when getting a daily comes up again.

What was wrong with that Legacy. And if it wasnt a 05+ it wasnt boosted. And boost is a godo thing. Especially on a 4cyl.

I drive an '06 Lexus IS350.... Matador Red Mica, with every option available for the car...

absolutely love the car... i'd sell any of my LSx cars long before i'd sell the Lexus... the 306hp V6 has some real get-up, and with the sport handling package, the handling blows an f-body out of the water, while riding 10x better as well.... all this combined with all of the luxuries that you would expect out of a top-end Lexus, and its an easy choice....

*as a side note - one of the coolest things ever is the heated/cooled seats... heated seats are obviously nothing new to the market, but the cooled seats might be the greatest invention ever put in a car with leather seats...

Oh, and the car gets TONS of looks... really sexy car, especially with tinted windows... and pictures do no justice to the Matador Red... i was convinced I wanted the dark grey, but once i saw the red in person, i was absolutely in love... the red and the pearl white are both top notch
