Default I need a beater/commuter car.

I'm posting this in the NE section because I'm not travelling to pick up a p.o.s...lol.

Anyone have a beater they want to sell. Let me know what you've got. Thanks.

I'm selling my beater right now. 2001 Monte Carlo SS. <65k miles. Modded with full suspension and air flow bolt-ons, plus it has summer / winter wheels. Good on gas, decently quick and huge trunk / back seat.

$8750.

Nice clean car, just not what I'm looking for. Maybe I should describe.

-FWD or AWD.
-No SUV's or trucks
-AT or MT
-example. Honda, Subaru, Toyota, older Bimmer etc.
Thanks.

mpg's. I don't want to be killing the environment unless I'm having fun doing it. I can't justify it while commuting.

Hey dumbass...fwd OR awd. duhh. BMW offered awd as far back as 1988. Know-it-all loser.

What a stupid tool.

Next, you're going to be criticizing me for saying AT or MT. A car can't have both...lol. Look up the definition for "or".

I used to have a 96 Infiniti g20 beater. Had to get rid of it because it was such a slug!
