My sister killed the transmission in her Maxima, and the frame is so rotted on the car its not worth throwing money at. She has no money, so the budget is $1500, not a penny more. Id also be willing to do a partial trade towards a vehicle with that 92 Yamaha moped I had listed last year that I finally have keys to(is not running, haven’t had time).

She carts around my neices and my nephew, that’s why I am doing what I can to help her.

Here are the requirements:

4 doors, absolute must.  
No major repairs needed. No frame work or major engine/transmission repair.

Here are the preferences:

Prefer a Honda or Toyota, I know most in that price range will be high mileage.  
She is more comfortable with a manual transmission.

At this point I don’t care if she ends up with a minivan, but I’m really not looking into any SUVs. Anything you guys have, see, or know of, please let me know.

What’s the miles? How long have you had it, any maintenance history? I’m interested.

I like those older civics, but I don’t think the kids will fit in it.
