jddmj Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looking to spend 2 grand or less. What makes a good dependable beater. Hopefully something not to embarrassing to drive with great MPG's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyrick562 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 So I guess truck is off craiglist lol And yeah probably civic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah I would get a Civic or and Accord. Parts are cheap and there are usually a million of them out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Civic has been on the list. A real clean CRX would be my top pick, but any would do. Yes, the truck is off craigslist. I checked the insurance on what I was going to get, and it was 160 more a month than my truck. So a beater it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I agree with the Civics. Also some mid to late 90's Pontiacs with 3.1 or 3.8 motors hold up exceptionally well and are cheap. Great mileage as well. I had a Scion Xb that I loved and got great mileage, if you could find one in your price range. I am a really big guy and it had all kinds of room inside for me. No power, but great mileage. Good luck with your hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeekroar Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I had a B-swapped Crx that was a BEEEEEAAAASSSSTTTT!! A defiant death trap though, cramped as hell, but it was like driving a go cart with a jet engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwalk Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 You guys can laugh all you want but I'm getting a scooter here soon... Brand New 150cc, flat black, 80-85 mpg, cheaper insurance, $4 to fill up, and its $1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I drive highway miles, and weigh over 300 haha. Dont see a scooter happening, or I would. I read on fueleconomy.gov that a CRX can get 43 in the city, and 46 on the high way. That is why im interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeekroar Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 True, but a CR-SEX is not much bigger than a scooter, lol. My step dad is 6'3- 275ish and could not fit in it in my Cr-SEX. I got almost the same mpg in a 95 civic coupe. I also got 42 highway in a 96 hatch, before I swapped the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
