Thumbs up Re: Best. Beater. Ever.

I had the same car, a '93 that I paid $100 for 6 years ago. I reluctantly, sold it last April for $1,500, less than I wanted, but when relocating to another state, one can't be too picky. It had 275K at sale, with origional everything including clutch. NO - not brakes, tires, & plugs. Them 240s are indestructible.

My "winter ride" is this 1995 Audi S6 Avant. Only 300 were imported to North America. Love it!

Re: Best. Beater. Ever.





1994 Volvo 850 Wagon (non-turbo, auto) 202k and parts are fairly inexpensive and easy to come by. It has heated leather seats, moonroof, a great stereo and plenty of interior room. Sure, its FWD, but the mileage is slightly better than my 92 and 96 Legacy wagons were and I put about 3000mi/month on it. I sit in a lot of traffic so the automatic is favorable, and the paint isnt great but it gets banged into whenever I park it in NYC so it's tolerable.
