I'll be seling my Justy soon. It's in fantastic shape since it was a FL car until recently.
I really don't want to sell the Justy - it's been such a great little car and it's very useful. But I just bought an MR2, so something has to go. The Justy comes with a set of 12" wheels with winter tires and 13" wheels with really nice summer tires. Email me if you're interested - nicholas.j.owens@gmail.com

get an early 90's accord. Good beater potential and will last with many beatings.

1990 - 1994 Legacy... GREAT little cars.
And they are more then just a beater... those engines were great. Im actualy looking for a Daily driver myself, looking for an XT/XT6 or a 90-94 Legacy... so far.... no luck... I hate the Absence of Subaru's in Florida

It is entirely possible my XT6 will be for sale in the near future. Its FWD with 18Xk miles but it is excellent shape. Leaks about a 1/2 quart of oil every 3k but otherwise great. It was an Oregon car so it is virtually rust free (all rust I recently treated and fixed). Has BRAND NEW tires that cost me $250 alone then there is the struts which I replaced over the summer, the aftermarket CD player. I really don't wanna let her go but if I get a new toy she must go or my wife will make me go.

If money is going to be a concern then definately find a 4wd 5spd Justy. I was able to get 45MPG+ in mine and you really had to try to get that thing stuck especially with winter tires.

if you want a good, reliable, fast, beater that gets good mpg and handles well out of the box get a 90-94 legacy. Get a turbo if you want to make some power.

the Turbo Legacy also requires 93 Octane, and ANYTIME it boosts... it will EAT GAS... (I DO NOT PROMOTE STREET RACING... ITS BAD, ILLEGAL, SO DONT DO IT) When I used to hit the Cruze strip in Albuquerque, NM (good ole Montgomery Blvd) I was hitting boost at darn near every light. Doing this, from a full tank, I was down to 1/8 in about 2 hours.... Yea... eats gas for Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner!!!! Or you can just remove the wastegate untill you wanna take it to a track

it only requires premium, which is rated as low as 91 in the us, just like an svx.
remove the wastegate? |
