Older Honda, 90s model if you can find one.

Saturn SC2, SL2, or SW2.

Cheap, reliable, and always 30mpg or better.

Geo Tracker, i beat the shit out of one for a year and ever put a tree stump through the floor while wheeling and it never quit running... Great gas mileage and if you get one with 4x4 it will go anywhere since it has such a short wheelbase... Just don't get an auto cuz they are 3-speeds...

thanks! i'm trying to get a beater asap because my TA is already at 105xxx miles and i dont really want to put any more miles too soon and also it has been having problems lately

Hmm, lotta options, but I have a good freind with a 03 impala with 114xxx miles, cool dd and extremely cheap, i'd try to go for one of those. Get the black steelies, lower it and tint the windows, it will be one badass dd.

And, i think they are pretty popular at the police auctions judging by what he said, says there were alot of em in there. He got his for like 4k.

I've heard good things about the 3.8's also so i doubt realibility will be an issue with it, my freind hasn't had any problems with his either.

+1 they get decent mileage, have a spacious interior, and still look good...

i've also been looking into getting a bike, just not sure how insurance is on them

I have a freind with an 03 that looks JUST like that it's just black and lowered like 2 inches I believe, badass dd if you ask me and not expensive at all.
