My '48 Willys CJ2A. I picked this up while living in Huntington Beach for $500. It doesn't get driven much now up in Seattle, but it's alot of fun to bring out on sunny days.

My daily driver is a 2004 Toyota Highlander Limited. My wife drives a 2011 Toyota Corolla Sport.

I've also got a KTM 450 dual sport.

Common guys. Talk about cars or send each other private messages. No one cares about your little beefs.

this is great. an engine, a drivetrain, four wheels and a frame - yet we won a World War with the thing

WTF?! Shut up, both sound like idiots!!! Anyways, I am broke and been busting ****** for the past month riding down to Labor Ready working with crack heads and shaking my hairy ass for old men on web cams. Paid some debts, made a bit more... Anyways I am looking for a cheap car for when it's to far to commute by bike. Needs to fit a bike inside, have AC, run without immediate costly repair. Most important cheap to insure and economical, all for under $1,500.

Anyways, this is the top of the list:
1990 Geo Prizm 4-Door Hatch with a claimed just over 100,000 leaky sunroof and an inoperable A/C... Looks good and does not smell to bad. But I maybe able to get it for $750!

Weren't you trying to decide whether to buy a Bentley like, a month ago?

Yes... I want one and will own one someday. But it would have been stupid of me to buy, would empty out my investment/savings accounts. Luckily this forum pointed out what was an obvious stupid decision. It was also older then me and would probably cost a fortune to maintain, even with me doing all the work.

 

[HRoi]

that's a tough set of requirements. maybe a Jeep Cherokee, or an Acura Integra (it's a hatch, but not sure if it can fit a bike)? or get an E30 BMW and a bike rack...

I've never met anyone who has to go to Labor Ready AND has an investment/savings account AND is legitimately looking into purchasing a Bentley.

It's tough to give advice to someone who isn't setting realistic guidelines when asking for advice.

maybe a Volvo wagon
you might need to spend a bit more
don't let high mileage scare you off if they have been maintained, they run forever

Really? I have worked a decent job at some point in my life and what I consider an investment account is not very big... If you go back to the Bentley conversation, it was worth about $10,000. I could spend more then $1,500 on a car, but I don't see why when I only want/need a car for the weekend...

Thanks, I always forget about Autotrader for bottom of the market. Looks lovely and will check into it. I know Volvo's are reliable. But how are parts availability and cost? Are they easy to work on?

My car before I lifted it 3" (old man emu shocks and springs) installed detroit trutrack limitted slip diffs front and back and got tom woods custom double cardon prop shafts front and back. I also bought a brush bar and front and rear lamp guards. Also looking to get new tires thinking of getting 33" BFG ATAs or Goodyear Duratracs. I bought some OEM 18" "hurricane" rims for when I get tires. thinking of getting them powder coated dark grey? Thoughts?
