not so much working for me
youre being too picky. u just need a reliable driver for the time… i just picked up a car for my sister, a 94 celica gt, black with grey cloth, 5 speed, 188k lots of records, some rust on the bottom of the doors and bottom of the trunk(common celica areas) payed 1500 for it books between 2-2500
I feel you on needing a car… But it’s tough to find one on that budget that doesn’t have rust and doesn’t have something broken on it.
Seriously, your best bet is to set up feeds to alert you when something good comes up on Craigslist. Set up an RSS feed, forget searching that’s a waste of time.
Call every ad that’s in your budget (and even slightly over) if it is something you could roll with…
And lastly, and most importantly… Have cash straight up and be ready to buy.
The best deals on Clist usually sell in a few hours.
You’ll have an advantage over people if you keep your cash at home, since if a good post comes in at night you can buy that night instead of having to wait to withdraw the money.
i cant stand rust. nothing bothers me more that staring at a gaping fuckin rust hole in the side of something i drive. id buy a damn saturn if i could find one that didnt rot through the frame.
Good luck on your mission… But I have to say… Sometimes beggars can’t be choosers my friend.
That’s not meant as an insult but rather as reality…
Don’t expect to buy a 92-95 Civic then…
The rust buckets of rust buckets right there!
Travis, I was on the hunt for a car for my winter beater for $1,200 or under…Stay on top of Craigslist, looks for deals!! They are on there EVERY day! and remember, if the car looks clean and looks like an awesome deal, CALL! Do not wait, it will be gone. I found a '94 Integra 5 speed on there for $1,300, black, 140k, I dicked around then called an hour and a half after I saw it…sold. So when I came across the '98 Accord I am currently driving which i found on Craigslist for a STEAL, fully loaded, EX, high miles, South Carolina car, MINT body (structure wise, faded paint) and MINT undercarriage…called, told the guy i’ll be there in 20 to pick it up, said on his way to the shop where it was he had gotten 6 calls…can’t wait around on deals, gotta jump on em!
ive BEEN calling places… after i hear the garbage comming out of these peoples mouths “yeah it got hit in the rear end but nothing a few thousand couldnt fix” etc… nope ill pass…
