So, I've been searching for a good reliable beater as a DD. No luck so far, most all have major issues like blown head gaskets and such. Looked at an 89k S10 4.3 blazer yestarday....ahg the tranny wasn't happy. Nopperz on that one. If any of ya'll know of something out there, let me know. The berd needs to cease and desist daily duty.

 

what are you looking to spend?

 

Zero would be great, but no more than .....1,500 bucks.Not sure about taking a risk on an 01 Taurus that's clean with 121k that I saw. I see Maximas are soft. Hhmm. Be nice to find a decent mazda B

 

selling mine as Im buying a new one on wed.

went from roseburg, to portland, drove around, and back to salem on about $20-25. Insurance is $18 a month for liability.

Id take $1300 if you wanted it.

 

That's pretty cheap for a si.

 

I know it runs great is a great commuter. but i sold my truck and im buying an rsx. so this isnt needed anymore.

new water pump, timing belt, clutch, radiator, starter all within the last year. its nothing special but I can damn near go a full week on $20 in gas.

NO LEAKS either on the moon roof

 

That's a sweet deal. Looks like i'm getting the Blazer after all ( i hope ) was just a bad shift solenoid in the tranny. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the reply, we'll see.

 

good luck man. id reconsider it. the whole reason i even bought this car is because my 03 s10 with a 4.3 2wd, was getting around 17mpg in town and 21-22 on the freeway. gas was killing me. my vette does better on the freeway then it did.

 

LOL that CRX IS SICK!! lol jk looks like a good work car i just picked up a 1995 jeep cherokee 5 speed 2wd for 200 bucks and it runs perfect.

 

$20 pretty much lasts me all week going to work in that thing. Vette is about $50 in 3-4 days depending on how heavy of a foot (CR is 11.75:1 so I run the non ethanol at 4.65-4.70 a gallon.)
Im picking up a rsx type s on wed for a DD so Im just trying to free up some extra money. Plus this will go towards my RPM level V trans in spring time
