Default Need suggestion for my beater

Guys, I come across to get a second car since my office is moving to Sauga in late June. I will use this car to work and winter. Do any of you know anyone is selling their car really cheap? I just need a reliable car to work, good gas/mileage. Any suggestions?

I am thinking of
96-99 Civic
96-99 Protege
00-01 Sentra
...

yup, that's why i got mine. got nothing to worry about with the rolla, cheap maintainence, cheap to run, no worries about brake downs, and nice and underpowered enough to feel safe in the winter time with all season tires.

plus it makes the Z feel that much faster after driving it :P

95-97 240sx (s14) just don't mod it and you'll get decent gas milage and its fun to drive wherever you go instead of falling asleep on the wheel

Be strong, man...

I think W.C. Fields said that the only way to get rid of temptation was to give in to it...

I still say integra... They make great daily drivers. Extremely reliable, and durable. With decent handling and power (in the GSR). Just limit the mods.

haha, when i first read the "with decent handling and power", all I thought to myself was "is this guy on crack?" and then i read in the gsr, so it all made sence. i drive a '96 integra, gets my around, $30 on gas a week so i'm not complaining.

now, where do you work, and are they hiring?
