WTB Beater around Jax Well,
just got the call from my body shop, the rear end damage that my ford probe beater took last week is to much and they are going to total it.
So i need to find another cheap beater fast or else im gonna have to drive the vette to work (NOT what i want to do).
Im open to anything, but my number 1 choice would be any kind of small pickup, looks are not so important, mechanicals and air conditioning are, so please if you know of anything or hear anything let me know!

Do what I did, find a local Joe-Blow mechanic with a cheap ride for sale. Many mechanics often have 1 or 2 cheap vehicles that they got for nothing and fixed up. I got a 1993 Nissan Pickup with 250k miles from a mechanic, and it runs strong because he could fix all the little things cheaply since he did it himself. Ugly as hell but it was $750 and it works.

I've got a 99 Camry forsale. It's a great DD, and in really nice shape, might be more than you want to spend but I figured I'd mention it. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=227285601&
My dad's also got a pretty nice 2dr sunfire he'll be selling here shortly.
