That would be cool, I haven't found much in the area though. I'll keep looking. Oh, and budget wise, I'm pretty much looking for the cheapest thing I can find that will work, but I could do a couple grand.
That sounds ideal. Pretty much exactly what I want.
Ohhh that is such a fun car. My friend had one and drove it a lot.
Tow auctions. Mine was towed for no insurance. I didn't know 2nd was bad until after I bought it, but I knew it ran because it got pulled over. You can't test drive the cars, but some places let you start them and give it a look.
If a car is impounded for 30 days, they own it. Unless the town bull is crazy (like $2500) then the car is usually nothing special, but there were more than a few quality cheapo cars.
Although that CRX would be awesome.
I had a 1989 DX (not Si and not HF). The DX had nice seats like the Si, same basic motor as the Si (the HF has only 8 valves and is gutless) and I would average 45mpg. I got as good as 58mpg on the freeway driving like a jackass. It was fun to drive, too. Good power to weight for a front wheel drive. It's no sports car, but had plenty of interior room seeing how I'm 6'4" and had a lot of room.
Probably the two hardest finds in Socal to find right there. YOu can find a late 90's s10 a third of the price than you can the 80's toyota trucks.
And for the VW remark........No, you cant. Any of them withmore than 75K are an absolute nightemare of random failures, hard to find parts, and costly special orders.
at least the friggin seats fold down, you should be able to get one in there with the wheels off. anyways...the CRX is a neat car that's super lightweight and as efficient as a prius...pretty cool.
Two people would steal that in a ehartbeat here in SOcal...Punk ass Jackass, that wants to go for a joyride in a car that is pretty inconspicuous to the local PoPO.
The other is the local punk jack ass that is about to commit a crime of some sort, and need something easy to steal, with the same reasons as the above.
This would be the most Ideal, it fits budget, its easier to find, and damn they run forever. You can fit your bike inside without taking the wheels off, good milages, fairly easy to find parts, easy to work on. Good all around vehicle, great 4x4 system setup as well, that is, if you get the 4x4 model.
early to mid 90's toyota camry or Corolla, stay away from Nissans in that era, Honds from Mid 80's to mid 90's were hit or miss.
Check out possible looking for eitehr a late 80's early 90's ranger or Mazda Pickup, they can be had for quite cheap. My lil sister would possible be intrested in selling hers for around 2k ish, its a 98 ranger. they are also fairly easy to work on, easy to transport your bike, and good milages.
Def get something that is fuel injected if at all possible, older Carbs in Socal are an absolute bitch to find parts for, specially on imports, you usually get rammed for ****ty rebuild that may or may likely still not work properly.
my 1st real car was a '89 CRX SI...awesome car...but as far as that ad is concerned I wonder why this person wants "cash only"...make sure you get a carfax done...D
You mean car maps?
If he want to check the car I recommend www.autocheck.com cheaper and more information.
"comes with second scout"
No, never have. They look cool though.
