What one running & driving car would buy for $1,200.


Recommended Posts

You just got stimulated and are buying 1 car, reasonable running & driving condition for $1200.

Car/truck/SUV/etc.

No, it cannot by the hypothetical 63 split window Vette grandma had in the barn in '75 and you bought for $600 or the Muira SV you bought from a guy at the bar for $1000 and a game of pool.

This is a no brainer. I would park across the street from friends houses. Drive 55mph in the fast lane. Park in front of the bars at closing time. I could entertain myself for weeks with this bad boy.:guzzle::lol:

Man, so many choices for $1,200 or less.

$1250 is the asking price for this Town Car Limo.  I bet $1200 brings it home.

$1250 for this Lincoln LS.  $1200 should buy it.  V8, rear wheel drive.  The more redneck version of a Mustang.

$150 for this Volvo 850.  Yes, $150.

$1500 for this one.  Maybe could get it for $1200?

$200 for this running/driving 850!

My choice - a Ford EXP a small town used car dealer back home has had for $1299 for the better part of a decade!  The scary part is I've stopped and looked at it a couple times now.  

This isn't the one, but it looks pretty much the same.

We've had 4 of them, other than normal maintenance they have been trouble free, the 1995 Seville we had and sold to my grand daughters husband, he said it has over 300,000 on it now and still running fine..my 2002 is still running that a neighbor has, don't know the mileage but when I sold it it had 185,000+. The 1992 Non-North Star had some oil leaks when I sold it.

We just had some retard send a decent 2006 Impala SS to the wreckers for $200.  It was left to him by his late father.  Needed an alternator to run and a few repairs for a safety inspection.  I don’t think he could afford the alternator and it wouldn’t drive home as is so a couple days later he scrapped it.  Car was worth a couple grand easy.

Damn.  My friend has one and we know it does 140mph for sure.  Ran out of road to go any faster, but we suspect it had more in her.

I thought the same.  Not a bad buy at all.

I thought it over and even showed it to the wife, but the truth is that it would sit here for a year before I would even start an engine swap.  I don't have the space for that tank.

Honestly, I was surprised I found it.  I wonder how big this “knock” is?  Probably more like a BANG!  If the 4wd works, it a $1500 truck all day long.

My buddy drove a '98 for over ten years and the motor knocked for 9 of them.
