Ok, Since im moving I have less money to work with than i thought. I have roughly 3k i was looking at things a tiny bit more expensive to maybe talk them down. i think ive checked every craigslist from here to alaska. yeah yeah koolaid. im open to civic nissan pretty much broadened my horizons even though ive become a new car, somewhat mod whore. i gotta give it up. oh the sacrifices for the opportunity, id even be open to an suvish type, but they are more expensive. i need low-ish miles and something dependable.. i need to drive it to fl lol and cant be dumpin $$ into it. idc if its manual or auto.. orefer auto greatly since the tranny just went in the altima. fml
if you guys could help me, id appreciate it soo muchh. dont go out of your way just if you know someone or see something.. let me know. but please look out for me. i gotta be careful what i buy here. thanks <3

accept the lowest bidder for your stuff packed from RI to FL.
I just have images of buying something, getting stranded in NC in bubbville, with a car loaded with your stuff.. having to give away your possessions to get the car fixed, then getting sucked into the sex slave trade down south shaking it in a cage for a guy named Bubba with 2 teeth to pay for room and board while your vehicle is down for repairs.

do you plan to rent a uhaul trailer or cram it all in a single car load. if you plan to fit it all in, i wouldn't suggest anything smaller than a sedan, otherwise keep an eye out for a car with a hitch.

Jun 15 2010, 03:51 PM
its soo much to type.. late for class i planned on the uhaul.. ill explain later why not and thats pretty much exactly what i was thinking drew i have them saved on my computer.. what i found i have to call on, hard to go look at them with no car myself. hahah geez this is tooo much work eff it

what an ignorant statement lol there are PLENTY of mechanics that will take any chance they get to rip you off.
And not just shadetree mechanics, major dealers too. Balise being one of them, but there are plenty of places that are more than happy to take your money and either perform an unnecessary job because you didnt know better or perform a shotty job with shotty parts and not think twice.

Keep an eye out on craigslist. I got my SC2 for $1800 when they usually sell for $3-$5k. It has a huge trunk and the 3rd door makes backseat access easy for stuff, plus it's still a "sporty" coupe. 37mpg doesn't hurt either.

yup that was it.... she stated she was willing to spend more for a reliable vehicle with low miles. Edit- miss read that sentence. well never mind then. good luck finding a dependable vehicle for cheap..... U stated u have exhausted craigslist, try auto trader and ebay if u haven't looked there already

Look for a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis. Lots of cargo room, won't catch the cops attention, RWD, V8, cheap to insure, and usually not expensive to buy. Mileage won't be spectacular (18-22mpg).
