Replacement Wintah Beatah

Post by Adam »

Since I stuck out on the first one (I've only had the title since 11/10), lets try again.

Requirements:
- Cheap. Should only be a couple thousand. Or less.
- Can put in service right away (no "needs engine" or whatever).
- If its a 4-cyl, it needs to have a manual transmission so I don't fall asleep when driving it. Or needs to be otherwise interesting.
- Can take abuse (but will receive maintenance).
- Not a car that anyone cares about (see above).
- Bonus points for annoying Kevin.

Lets start!

Your requirements are incorrect because they do not support a PPV. Of course, you could procure one outside of these requirements...

A supercharged Cobalt SS may be cheap by now.

This one is currently at $9900, which is too much. It's good to know these are headed in the right direction, though.

These are getting cheap too, but this one is an automatic.

I'll stray from my requirements in the right situation.

This one is even less at $6258, but is an automatic. And too far away.

It's an I6 so I guess the automatic is ok. Prices are headed in the right direction at $5495

How funny would this be? I know where there are many spare parts...
