Allright, my friend's looking for a cheap car. He wants RWD, stick, cheap opperating costs, and reilable.
My uncle has an 83.5 convertable, but it's a garage queen (VERY NICE LITTLE RED CONVERT!!!) so I cant really call into reliablilty on something like that...
here's the craigslist posting

It seems to be an good car for $600... He knows it's not perfect, but since it's so far away, he kinda wants somebody to take a look at it for him before hand. MORE THEN WILLING to pay somebody for their time and opinion on it... Not sure exactly what, but his 92 corolla ate it's differencial (we think... havent looked at it close), and he needs a car ASAP
Anyways, other then the obvious (runs/drives... lights, interior, brakes, rust...) is there anything particular to look out for on them?
They seem to be ok little cars... It's got the 2.3, and a lady owns it... so I doubt it's been abused (could be, but W/E).
I hear that's a pretty tough engine, but so we'll have to see...
He doesnt have any plans of a 302 swap... yet... cause he cant exactly afford it, but yeah, he just wants something nicer to drive around in then his old POS corolla...
So yeah, if anyone's intereasted in looking at it, PM me. No timetable yet... He needs to ask his insurance company if they'd increase his rates (DONT ASSUME SO, because he'd only have liability)... And he needs to get a loan, to fix his current car (sell it), and get a new one ready to go...
Tks alot everyone, I appreciate it
PM me with any questions or anything
