that time of year again, the Z goes off the road, only this year i dont have the luxory of a beater on hand…last year i drove my sister’s car while she was away at college in NYC, but this year that car is going to my younger sister who just got her license…so i’ll be needing a beater, and i’d like to get on it now so the snow doesnt come and i’m still looking… i prefer import, but it’s a beater, so if something dumbestic for cheap comes along i wont discriminate… i prefer manual over auto, just because it’s more fun…but like already mentioned, i’m willing to flex… high mileage doesn’t scare me one bit…it just has to make it through a year, maybe two… one thing i’m kinda strict on is price…i’d like to stay below the $650 range…so obviously i’m not looking for anything over reliable or clean, i just need something that like i said, will run for a year or two…and it has to have working heat/defrosters…nothing else really. just testing waters here to see what kinda feedback i can get, what’s out there and available to me, and what people think of my requests (ie, am i being reasonable in thinking i can find a beater of these specifications for that price) ---

$500 is going to get you a rust bucket that will make it through winter with small repairs such as brakes, plugs/wires, etc. ---

a rust bucket is exactly what i’m looking for…as long as it will run for one, maybe two winters, and has heat and defrosters, that’s all i care… ---

For $1k, mpd47 is selling his 325is in a couple days or a week. Will run for at least a couple of winters, the engine is very strong and it has a new manual tranny. Body is ok as well, structurally. Couple of dents though. Would make an amazing daily. ---

> [@Showoff](#): > > not to thread jack, but can you get me a little more info plus the good and bad. 91 chevy, 130k pretty rotted, but the cab seals nice. V6, auto. Exhaust leak, doesn’t bother me, so I haven’t investigated it. No back brakes, never got around to fixing them, they are blocked off @ the dist block under the hood. Could just replace lines, and you would be fine. Front brakes are really really nice. Starts and runs great, has been my DD for almost a yr now, but I have a 4x4 I’ll be driving through the winter. Specs on that - 88 GMC Sierra SL 4" suspension lift 31s on it now, will clear 36s pic w/ 36s: ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Truck/36s_side2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/6/56855efc695eafba8d7b06e3a93f20f154e3516e.jpeg) Pic of it mudding (best way to test the 4x4 before you hit the snow with it): ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Truck/mud14.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/d/5d75754a9ee9e69ff37d4eedd3749521d488d815.jpeg) This one it is a V8 305, w/ 5 spd. Motor/tranny are perfect… no problems. Honestly, I make too much money to be driving these things around, but they sometimes aren’t worth selling, because they don’t look the greatest, but they drive awesome. If I get what I want for one of them, this one being $1200, I will sell the other one dirt cheap, and buy something new. But until then, I will enjoy not having a car payment. Call if you want to check them out, I work in Amherst near Buffalo Wild Wings, and I live in Akron. Thanks, Jack 901-1081 EDIT: Sorry, I was going to make that a PM… but I guess I can leave it here in case Andy wants a 4x4 ---
