Looking for a DD soon.
Ok so I've been trolling for DD's lately. Wont need one till around May but I've been checking options.
Best option I've come up with is a Subaru Impreza. Basically any year, hatch seems more practical so i can put shit in it and a WRX not so much because the turbo is just more to go wrong. They're pretty reliable and run forever.
Thoughts or other options? My price range is around 2k maybe up to 3k. Cheaper the better though.

I have always been able to find a good DD/beater for under $2000. I don't know how you feel about Hondas, but my 91 Accord that had 8 bajillion miles was my best DD I have had. 90s model Hondas tend to make good reliable, trouble free DD.

Not yet, still need to install some cup holders to hold liquid Originally Posted by Y2KPewterSS

But yeah it does, we fixed that. It fires up with starter fluid, and it has new gas, and we tested the fuel pump, so we've narrowed it down to an electrical problem with fuel system. I hope it's not the injectors...

We're not the average third gen owners... we decided to use actual replacement parts Originally Posted by SHines-IT

Yeah, but we still replaced the head gaskets twice before realizing that... Originally Posted by wheeliE-maxx

But I may haz a warped head, deck, or cracked piston from hydrolocking. Had to drive around the neighborhood looking like a steam train and it started running funny a while before that. But I had to get home

On a serious note, my 4 person apartment is probably about the same floor area of a double-wide

Ok I get it even though I could buy a turd gen for everyday of the week with my DD budget I already know not to get one.
And you're right about him not living by "know" meth labs but thats because you dont know about the one hes been running in the back of his IROC.

IROC...KEEP THE DAMN CAR AND FIX IT ALREADY!!!
Temple, try an Outback. Sporty like the WRX but with no turbo. Or an Impreza 2.5RS.
