My parents decided to move to the suburbs and in one week we'll be there, and the ironic thing is that living over there getting to work over here will take wayyyy to long (3 hours one way) by public transit (and actually there won't be a return route because that late at night the buses won't be running) so I'll need a car to get there, but I don't have a car and need that work to get one.
I might find something down where we're moving, but worst-case I'll have MAYBE $1000 (Canadian) so make that $600 US to spend on a shitbox so I can at least get around. I don't really care as long as its not totally fugly (thinking of a coupe or sedan) and its *reliable* and *easy to fix* (at least, things that do-it-yourselfers can do
).
Does anyone have any recommendations? Next week is my last week of work here, my parents have already moved to the house. I'll be camping here with no internet no phone no cable After next week I'll have to move too cause that's when the lease on the apartment expires and unless I get another job that's all the money I'll have so I'll probably start going car-shopping then
edit: I realize I'm not gonna get my dream car for such a low price, but I just want the best for my money. Mostly reliability, not expensive to fix, definately standard tranny, and not too hard on gas (no V8's).
edit: Anyone who wants to see a list of potential candidates that I've gleaned off of online auto sites and wants to comment, take a look here (Rar (self-extracting)) or here (Rar)
