Default Anybody here selling a hoopty?

Last week I bought a 1987 Toyota FX. I decided this morning to see how fast it can go. When I hit 85 mph the engine went kaapppuuut. I lost copmression in 2 cylinders. So, I am once again in the market for a hoopty.

If you have a car for sale, pm me.

My budget is $ 100-1500
4 cylinder
Automatic
The car has to be in running condition
Can be smogged
Current registration
It has to atleast reach 85mph
It has to smell decent
I prefer a red car because I just bought a red, hawaiian seat covers from costco

Oh, and Tony I don't want no stinkin' BMW with tranny problem.

Sorry to hear that man. Dayum...that didn't last too long did it?

Anyways...I'll keep an eye out & let you know.

Lesson: "Don't attempt to go faster than 65MPH on a hoopty".

Arvin,
Did you even get to register the car yet?





I'm also looking for a bucket. Same condition as what Arvin described. Doesn't need to be red. Prefer car that has less than 150k Mi.
