Too bad I just got rid of my CRX, my roommate's subaru spit a spark plug out the head, so he's looking for something cheap to drive for a while. Probably less than $1000, tell me what you got, or if you see anything around let me know where it was.

Thanks!

I have a Jetta for sale, but it's about $17K over what he's looking for :D

Colorado 4x4 is your friend
Beater that needs a new timing belt check it out first (http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=78547)

A little more than he wants to spend, but worth taking a look at (http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=78598)

thanks, yeah I showed him that pickup, but then I thought he's 6'6" so he might not fit very well.

leaf SOA 44 front (same as now). may leaf the rear too, haven't decided, it depends how my current link setup works. if the rear links work I may just transfer them over. then chop the top and make a canvas safari type top to cover behind the triangle glass.

basically, I want something that isn't all rusty to build. I've almost given up on mine many times, but there is just too much work into it now to give up before it runs. so I am going to finish it, then start something else.

yup, he bought it. pretty good shape, the frame is good, a little rust under the rear seat but no more than mine, but the actual frame is in pretty good shape. runs good, needs a window and a hub (all v6 used 28 spline hubs, right?) then it's good to go.
