Hi guys, just throwing this out there.
I'm looking at a cheap beater for a second car for us. They're all over the map.
Any advice is appreciated!!
2003 Toyota Echo sedan - 140k miles 5 speed manual for $1200 timing chain
1999 Subaru Legacy wagon (2.2 litre!) 4 speed auto 145k miles $1400
2006 honda civic DX 5 speed manual 125k miles timing chain
2007 chevy cobalt 5 speed manual 110k miles for $2000 timing chain
2000 civic hatchback 130k miles auto....timing belt unknown $1000
All are basically rust free and have been maintained well. All are uncertified, BUT the cobalt and subaru was certified 6 months ago.
the subaru timing belt and water pump has been done and has no head gasket issues at this point.
None have maintenance issues that I can't handle, and parts aren't terrible for any of them.
I like the idea of a gas miser but also 4wD.
Any thoughts? I'm mechanically able, but wanted to throw this out there for some fun.
Thanks!
Ryan
