WTB: cheap RELIABLE import for kids DD ~$3000
 

buddie's son just bought a honda civic, did a grand in maintenance (timing belt, "might as well's", tires, brakes)

and got rear ended few days ago.

crumpled it.

needs a replacement.

he is not mechanically inclined, basically wants something he can pay for, put gas in, and go down the road.

For 3k and apparently simple and a gas saver.......might as well find another Civic......

Yea except the prices are so bloated right now its crazy. People want like 4k for an 88 civic with 200k miles.

Does it have to be an import?

list it up, and i'll cut & paste it to him.

Bet you can find a Focus for that price.

Yup, almost bought an svt focus a couple months ago for 3k in good shape.

Something had to be wrong with it. I have never seen one go for that cheap. Other models sure. Wife had a focus. Wasnt a bad car. Until the a/c system went out with 50k on it. We bought it brand new and spent almost 2k on it and it wasnt 100% fixed so she got rid of it. Off topic i know.

Only thing bad was that it had 150k miles.

Fixed.

Zing!

focus and cavalier alike arent "bad" vehicles, they just dont have the long term quality most older drivers desire. so if someone can deal with interior rattles, engine noise, shitty paint, etc then they are OK. i would take a 200k mile civic over a 100k mile focus or cavalier anyday though.

can said "kid" drive manual or auto only?

Easy on the fuckuses now

We are talking about stock foci. Not ones with proline motors, so settle killa.

Team Jacob....buy this focus.
