    Cheap Vehicle

    My friend wrapped his truck around a tree 2 weeks ago and is looking to pick up something for around a grand to drive if anyone has anything streetable and somewhat legal?

    Thanks!

    Truck or car?
    Never blame the beer. It's only there to lend a hand.

    ^ ok, i can't let this one go, this is why i don't like you....i know there is nothing wrong with making some money, but you are getting that cougar for 375 bucks....gonna do a half assed head gasket and brake line job on it and sell it for a grand, when it needs rockers, and judging by the way you work on vehicles, the engine will blow up shortly after because you do things fast and half assed just so its done. chances are that whole deal with the cougar isnt gonna happen, because i think danielle is smart enough to stay away from any deals you dish out.


    i'm probably gonna get the ban hammer for voicing my opinion, but thats something i feel strongly about and i think that everyone on this forum needs warned not to do deals with you.

    Near me.... North of Slippery Rock, but anything cheap and driveable I'm sure he'll travel a bit for. That is why he has me.

    cause taking it up to my votech and having my teacher over see me do the gaskets is really half assing it.

    My mom is selling her 94 ford taurus for $1000. Its inspected untill 9/11, 93,xxx miles. it has a little rust around the rear wheel wells and there is some hesitation problem. I'm not sure if its a carboned up valve or something else. but he is more then welcome to come look at it if interested.
