WTB: Manual Winter Beater (safety and e-tested)

Here’s the thing: I know NOTHING about Honda’s and have nowhere to do the swap. I’d have to fork over 1000+ I imagine for the swap. Then I need to run around an get a day off for my mechanic to safety it- I can’t get time off for shit. It’s just not feasable for me. I want something that is cash in one hand papers and keys in the other. If I could, I would do the swap for fun, but it isn’t a realistic option for me.
