And yes, i got 41mpg over 1000 miles on the way down to the GRM $2012 Challenge. Been daily driving this thing for 4.5 years now, purchased for $900, still under GRM $2013 budget. Parts are DIRT cheap, available, and the cars are cake to work on. Beware: The power you can make for peanuts will completely ruin you on BPs for life, save for the whole FWD thing.

Would love a 626 GT in good condition. Find me one under my budget within a day's drive and I'll give you a $100 finder's fee.
If you really just want a hatch, consider the 1st gen Probe GT instead. They're uglier, slightly heavier, but are the same car otherwise. Swap in a set of MX6 seats (i have a spare pair, come and get them) and roll. As a bonus, the Probes aren't terribly hard to find.

I enjoyed my geo storm DD to the point of actively searching for an Impulse RS. Wagon style available:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1382621479 Also awesome cars. I had one years ago, very reliable, good MPG, comfy, and easy to make into a snorting troll mobile. OP, if you have $2000, you're looking for a car. Not a specific kind of car. You're looking for the best car you can possibly find for the $2000. You can't be picky. Cars normally known as being reliable are going to be total pieces of this at this price point, and cars known as being shitty aren't going to be any worse. |

Who cares? Transmissions for that are like $50 and can be swapped in an afternoon.

Yah, in my experience almost any car under the 1k mark that runs isnt a bad buy, with craigslist, a 1K car is easy to sell.
Buy it, put some mounts in it or even a tranny, if you like it drive it, if you hate it, clean it up and flip it for double what you paid. |
It's only 100 miles away...if they still have it I'm going to try to see it this weekend. Maybe see if I can get it for $500 or $600.

Found my dream car. Anyone on the east coast want to deliver it to me?

Hey so those 1st gen Probe GTs?
Here's one with a 100% stock motor with an HX35 slapped on. Tuned on BAND AIDS. (HKS PFC FCON) 428whp/483wtq. Admit it. You want this shit. |

I'd love an old Si
|
I had a CRX like that, same color and everything (but in much worse shape, based on appearances). I think I sold it for $1400 10-12 years ago.
|
I had an HF. Mileage was amazing but it really wasn't fun to drive at all.

I'll be honest- I'd gladly take a couple of days off and drive this car down to you in exchange for airfare, hotel and gas money. I could use a break about now. and it's been a while since I've driven a car...

My brother has a bone stock 1988 that he bought brand new. I'd be surprised if it has 80k on it.
I may have to murder him for it. |

Anyone have experience with the 1st gen CR-V's? It's just barely on my list, but there's one locally that's pretty clean so I'm considering it. Mileage is just good enough. How are they for daily driving? I figure they're fairly boring, but then I've been daily driving a Nissan Frontier so it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
