I just got rid of a 1996 Oldsmobile with 30,000 original miles for $2000.

It would have cost more than that to ship it 5000 miles. Would have been right up your alley though, 2.4 L, easy on gas, not a dent or spot of rust, new exhaust and muffler from Rock Auto.

Keep looking. They're out there.

my coworker that i carpool with drives one XD that is why i linked it surprisingly they are cheap used.
 
I reclined my chair around 7 last night to get a quick nap in before having to do res changes. I didn't wake up until 2am.:sleep: Now I'm wide fucking awake, so I just did my res changes. Not having close neighbors is nice, I was able to crank up the stereo while I worked. Smoking some vanilla kush while i wait for the pH to settle and hopefully to knock me back out for a couple hours. I'm almost never up at this time, it's fucking DARK. I can usually walk around the house at night just off ambient outdoor light, but I can't see shit right now. Working under a couple 1000W lights for the last hour probably isn't helping.

im looking at options not to purchase asap. i do factor in all that thus why i was asking for serious suggestions for used cars something reliable yet cheap that i could purchase sooner rather then later and fix up on my own to learn.

i don't plan to buy until next year at the least just due to maintenance and all that i want a good cushion to fall back on. not trying to buy one with little money to none to spare

To the bolded: my recommendation is don't lease. That's expensive in ways that are not immediately obvious.

Get a Toyota or a Honda, or a Lexus or Acura if you want a fancy version. 100K is nothing on any car made since 2000. Shit, most of them don't need a tune up before 100K. If you buy used, plan on changing all the fluids and filters and servicing the brakes, immediately.

I'm with you although having had both Honda and Toyotas I'm partial to Hondas but it doesn't matter either works. Because the kids mod them there are tons of parts. You also can get low miles used engines from Japan (in Hawaii). But he's not about to listen. He should also learn to drive a stick, yesterday. They are the cheapest of used cars because few kids today have a clue how to drive them.

I don't get how people are afraid of a clutch. Push it in, change gears, let it out. Not hard.:dunce: Other than moving cars around at work a few times at the body shop, I don't think I drove a stick on the road till my late teens. It was the shops 1986 ford flatbed wrecker with custom HD manual clutch and non syncro tranny I learned on, so everything after that was cake. That clutch would try to lift me off the seat and I was pushing 250 back then:shock:. I miss driving a stick, I gotta get my truck rolling so I can bang gears again. Lol, most people can't drive stick and I want to put a 10 speed in it for more shifting fun.:eyesmoke:
 
Honda Fit sounds like it should have bike pedals at everyone's feet and and no motor.

Otherwise, be honest in your advertisement, just call it the Lazy, but it's efficient!

My Probe's a stick :) I learned on a stick. Then again I'm older and many more cars were stick and few people didn't know how to operate them LOL.

Oh yeah, I ate breakfast, now I'm packing and getting my grow situated. I'm headed to the beach for the next 3-4 days. Hope the plants make it, supposed to get into the 90s and I won't be around to open tents. I don't like leaving things running with no one here, but the AC is staying on. Fingers crossed.

Have fun, sending good thoughts to your AC ;D

My kids (the ones in Santa Monica by the beach) texted me this past weekend to whine about the temps LOL I'm in the Mojave. I just chuckled and commiserated.
