Default WTB: Cheap gas getter..

I'm looking to pick up a cheap gas getter for work etc. (not over $2K) The car must have AC and no huge problems. I'd prefer something smaller that's good on gas, but just about anything will do. Let me know if you guys have anything or know anyone because I'd prefer to buy from a board member than some random person off the street. Cash in hand!

It's to keep miles of the stang, as well as save a few bucks on gas. It's about time I made her into a Garage queen.

Look for a 5speed 3cly Metro 94 and older. Until a few months ago when my company started paying for car and gas I was driving one 60+ miles a day. Averaged 40 MPG with the A/C on. Gas savings over my truck paid for itself in 6 months and I sold it for a profit after driving for two years.

4. Pricing and Location are required. Any ebay/auction links posted in an ad must also have a "buy-it-now" price included. Trades and "Best Offer" can be included, but an asking price is required.
