need a "new" car/truck (used)

[blackk5350]

welll my 89 bonneville has been getting me to class late(NO START WHEN ITS HOT OR BEEN RUNNIN A WHILE) and i really think i actually "need" a new/used vehicle, i would never buy new unless im win the lottery. Anyways im looking for anything except toyota, yaris honda, fit maybe... ill do a civic integra. i would love to have a 8.1L or a diesel to tow the k5 around anything at 10k or under. Im in college so i need to be thrifty. ALSO!!! walking to school is out of the question to far done it once takes forever.


ANY IDEAS GUYS CHEAP FAST FUN??? the reason i ask this is becuase no one can diagnose my car and its 22 yrs old im still gonna keep it but i need to get to school. Thats #1 on my list of priorities.

No crank? Or crank, no start?

Cheap, old cars you can't beat an old Volvo 740/940. Find one with a turbo and it can be fun too. Usually owned by older folks and well cared for. Tough as nails and RWD and if you bump up the turbo boost you'll be doing donuts and drifting around corners. Super simple to work on and parts are plentiful and cheap. 90 and up models don't have the rot problems that the 80s and older seem to have. Plus, it's the ultimate sleeper. Cops never pull over old Volvos, unless you're doing donuts in the middle of the intersection right after the bar closes. They tend to frown on that.
