Aside from it being a FWD autotragic, you guys have 12 hours to talk me out of spending $3500 on this tomorrow. [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/3027144055.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/3027144055.html) I looked at it tonight. Needs a couple of small repairs (power seat motor, sounded like a hole in an exhaust pipe though the muffler looked new) but overall was clean as hell for \<$4k. Should be a good way to drive cheap for a couple of years then get something that doesn’t suck. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > this would be a good car, fry is only looking to buy something that sucks. lol it’s the same car, just heavier, uglier, worse handling, worse gas mileage, and with more shit to break. I dunno, I’m hesitant on this one. It’s a good car but I’m going to keep shopping for a bit. I’ll go look at this tonight.

These all seem like really solid deals actually- however about as boring as they get aesthetically and driving wise. ---

If you’re looking for something boring that will be reliable, and will get you a solid ROI in a few years, I don’t know why you’re not exclusively looking at Hondas. If I were you, I would be trying to find a crv Here you go- [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/3028885836.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/3028885836.html) ---

Fuck it. I’m going to lease a Civic. Yes, really. $169/mo x 36 with $2k down, buy it out at the end of the lease for $12k and sell it for $14k (3 year old civics still fetch $14-16k) works out to $2028/year. The best I could hope for if I got lucky with a beater would be like $1k per year or so. Gas mileage of a new shitvic vs an old subaru/volvo saves another $500/year. Figure a $500 dollars in M&R per year on the beater and it’s a wash. I’ll end up paying about $1400 more via taxes on the new car, but small price to pay for 2012 reliability and safety, plus not hating life every time I walk to my car.
