We've been through so many cars in the past two years that it makes me sick just thinking about it. I sold my Z28 two years ago for financial reasons. Her '02 Cavalier was totalled in an accident. My '06 LaCrosse was traded in on her '07 Civic. I bought my '00 Camaro. I also "impulse" bought a 1990 Formula which I later realized I didn't have the time for and sold it to a buddy.
My intentions at first for the '00 Camaro was weekend, play status. Unfortunately it turned into my daily driver for the past few months. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, but a round trip to work is just shy over 60 miles (probably less miles than some of you may drive.), but more than I am used to.
I managed to save up a few bills and started my search this morning on Craigslist. I need FWD for the winter, preferably a mid-size or full-size car. I am not a truck or SUV guy, so we're not going that route. I also have around $1,500 to work with and tax + title fees have to be included.
So far I have found a few choices...
My first choice that I looked at was a 1994 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale, baby blue, newer tires and brakes, 126k, runs good, drove beautifully, needs exhaust replaced, $900/obo
1999 Chevy Malibu, light gold, 170k, tires were okay, needs alignment and the interior cleaned really well. $1,200.
2000 Chevy Impala, dark green, 203k, good tires, good brakes, no a/c, clean condition, $1,500/obo
There is not a whole hell of a lot to choose from in my price range. I had a 1993 Olds Eighty-Eight a couple years ago and it was a great running, comfortable car. We'll see what happens.
