skybytch 273 #5 May 12, 2005 QuoteCheap and Reliable is sorta oxymoronic isn't it? No, not at all. I picked up a '94 Toyota Tercel for $1300 last year. Since then it's taken me from Florida to Illinois and back, Florida to North Carolina and back, Florida to California, several trips between So Cal and Nor Cal and to and from work/the dz 5-7 times a week this year. Had one issue with a tire (my fault, I should have watched the air pressure closer) and one issue with a brake light switch. Best car I've ever owned. I'd buy another.

grue 1 #11 May 12, 2005 QuoteThey also go like a bat out of hell. Nice cars. Well, an Impreza L, which is what he'd presumably want, wouldn't be a speed demon with the 1.8 litre powerplant, but the RS models which were introduced a bit later were fairly quick, and course the WRX is shit-hot. Neither the RS nor the WRX are cheap, though cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffejdraga 0 #12 May 12, 2005 Yeah, no care or interest in speed or anything. Just reliable transport to and from the dz so I can work. Come on, someone out there has to have a car they dont want anymore...think how many jumps you could buy when you sell it... jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
