I need a fucking car - Nubblies.net Forums

Fruitacious B · 05-28-2010, 12:21 PM

Does anyone know of some good places to find a reliable cheap car? I'm willing to use the internet if the deal is good enough. My budget is in the $3,000 range, give or take, and I'd like whatever it is to be a 4 door.

Warsaw/Northern Indiana area.

I really hate that I'm posting this, someone bought the Subaru I was going to get right out from under me.

craigslist bro

Fruitacious B · 05-28-2010, 12:25 PM

I've been browsing craigslist constantly with very little luck. Most of the cars that catch my eye end up being scams, or have already sold.

Talk to Shaw ... he sells cars right? In Warsaw? Hook a brother up here Shaw ...

3,000 is going to be tough to get a super reliable car. With 3,000 down, I could get you low payments on something that will actually last. I could get you a cheap ass trade in, but we sale those as is, so if it breaks down in a day, you are fucked.

Orgazmo · 05-28-2010, 01:54 PM

What the bottom dollar car you can get this guy that you would put the Shaw stamp of approval on?

Fruitacious B · 05-28-2010, 02:26 PM

I'm not getting involved in any payment plans or anything. I am determined to find a car within that range. I was in the process of getting a '99 Subaru Forester, but some fuckheads snatched it up from under me.

How many miles did that Forester have?

02 Ford Focus. 3000 + tax. No Warrenty/No gap.

To be honest Gaz, I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase back row from any car lot. They are sold as is, and will have problems sooner rather then later. I would put 3,000 down and get a 10,000 car and purchase the best warranty package that the dealership offers. ( The one they will start you off will is a complete rip off.)

Fruit, why don't you buy a motorcycle? You could get a decent deal on a 250-500 CC used for very cheap, have much less to worry about on the maintenance end (cost and complication-wise, although small things break more frequently), you could save money on gas/insurance, and plus driving a motorcycle is badass as hell.

You can just sell it when winter rolls around and buy another vehicle with the money you've saved and the money from the bike. I had a motorcycle as my sole transportation in AZ for like 10 months, it was fucking awesome.

Fruitacious B · 05-29-2010, 10:09 AM

The Forester had about 150k on it, but only had one previous owner, a local schoolteacher, and it was in great shape. What's the story with that Focus? I can't be getting into any payment plans or anything, because full coverage insurance on top of my monthly payments will cost far more than repairs I could make on a car that I own downright in the long run. Also, if I own it in full, I won't have any fears of reposession if my financial situation takes a sour turn.

As for a motorcycle Blonde, I've always wanted one, but I need something that both my girlfriend and I can use. That fact has made it more difficult, because I've found some great cars ('02 Jetta for one) but can't consider it because she can't drive stick and replacing a clutch that soon is something I have no desire to do.

I will research the Focus a bit here later today. I'm not going to sell you a shit box just because you need a car at 3,000.

Gotta agree with Tempests implications. Nothing worse than riding a bike in the cold and wet. AZ, along with TX, is different, we can ride damn near all year long.

StabMaster Arson · 06-07-2010, 01:17 AM

I inherited (sorta) a 1994 plymouth sundance with 30,000 miles on it.
I'd let it go for $3000 and a tugjob.

Der Fuhrer · 06-07-2010, 04:02 PM

Its a '94 with only 30,000 miles? What the fuck, did it sit in a garage for 15 years?

StabMaster Arson · 06-07-2010, 09:40 PM

it came from the wife's grandma, she bought it new shortly before she was put in a home. we got it in january w/ 24k on it. I drive it back and forth to work a few times a week and we use it for longer solo trips b/c it gets better gas mileage than any of our other cars... including a honda prelude that's for sale too.

DDTempest · 06-08-2010, 08:18 AM

Turns out we have two used car salesmen around Nubblies!

Mr. Blonde · 08-26-2010, 06:45 AM

Hey fruit, you ever get a car? What happened to you anyways?

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
