I need a beater!!!

as title says anyone selling or know anyone thats selling a beater? i mean nothing over $6,000.. as long as its manual and doesnt have any major problems (engine, trans/transaxle, diff, suspension, n stuff are good) minor things i can fix so doesnt really matter.. as long as the thing will last for 8 months and can do like another 20k miles in that time..

i put 55 miles a day from going to class and work alone! i had 20,000 miles on my 10 month old G! thats 2k a month! and the car spent about a month in a shop too getting the kit on n stuff. so yeah PM me or those of u that know my cell please give me a call =)

looking for:
Manual
no major problems
A/C
good gas milage using 87 octane
looks some what decent.. like one of those cars u pass by the road without a second look. not one of those (WHAT THE **** IS THAT THING type)

thanks

Look for a 10 year of Civis Si or Integra GS-R. Prelude Si will do as well. I perfer Hondas for the fun and reliability.

did you read the whole posting, including this paragraph?

(My car looks very similar to the car in the photo, except the car in the photo doesn't have a spoiler; I don't have a digital camera)

Ohhh man, so I was pulling some mad drifts around the canyons the other night in Meechin's 240SX. You know ... Initial-D style and all. Tires are a little chorded now, but still good! The redline's at 7k, but what do I care it ain't mine, so I let her wind to 8 grand VTEC style. Those e-brake slides were uber fun too, I believe the e-bar now pulls all the way up 90-deg. OOopsie!

Yeah, it's a fine ride Eric. Get it!!!








........ j/k! I kidd!
