I'm shopping for a winter beater, because I don't want my beautiful St205 in the mud and shiz.
I found 2 interesting deals. the first one is a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, with ~142k miles on it. not a single trace of rust and engine bay seems in order, guy asking 900$, I could deal at 800$ The second one is a 1999 Alero, same mileage as the sunfire, car is on primer because the rust was sanded but wasn't repainted, engine bay is in order, too. for 500$ My 3rd choice would be to shop around for a dodge neon. I would go with a tercel but they are a bit overpriced where I am from ![]() |

COROLLA to go!!!!! I have to agree with this guy. I've sold way too many parts for these two cars to ever consider one. It's always stupid things that break on them and they're stupidly hard to fix. You want a winter beater? Look at a really old scubie with 4wd. They are cheap as he'll around these parts for the old close to 200k ones. I'd also suggest a Tercel. My buddy had one and threw studded winter tires on it. If felt like you were riding in a snow mobile. The car is light enough to drive over most anything and steady enough not to get knocked around by drifts. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
