Posted August 11, 200619 yr All for $300 ONly spot of rust is that fenderwell pic. IT's only urface rust though, so an easy fix. Paint needs some polish, but will look good once I get my time with it. 129K miles and runs strong. Damn front springs rusted through and both are broken. Never seen anything like that on a car less than 30 years old. 5 speed, no power ANYTHING, no cuise, do have A/C though. Can't beat it for the price.
August 11, 200619 yr Admin $300 makes it hard to go wrong, even with the 3.8 powa. a little bit of and I think it will be a good scotter,but heck I would really love to find a manual 4 door for super cheap here!!

Sorry to thread jack, but Aaron if you want a real cheap, really reliable four door look at an 89-93 BMW 535i. Not super fast, but really easy to work on and super reliable. They go and go and go as well. The 525i is ok, but you have to get newer than a 92 to get the timing chain instead of the belt otherwise you have extra expenses in upkeep. Plus the 3.5 I6 BM'er engine is about the longest lasting gas powerplant I have seen and the parts are super cheap--if you ever need help finding any you know who to ask to. My mechanics (works on the wifes car) has an 89 with 380,000 miles that he uses as a loaner.

August 12, 200619 yr As usual, nice find Why cant i find any nice $300 cars They are all old and broken
August 12, 200619 yr chit, cars are very cheap in the us. 300$ could only get me a wreck over here...
August 12, 200619 yr 300$ that is a crack deal.unless u went to an auction or new the person selling it.
August 13, 200619 yr Author Car was a charity vehicle to the local homeless shelter. With my old man running a scrapyard, he goes to EVERY auction in the area. This was the case here. It actually is expensive for what they normally pay. Usually, this thing would go for about $100, but there were some out-of-towners there bidding things up. Still a great deal.
