Geneva, my daily driver/beater car, a 93 Legend L sedan, got rear-ended yesterday afternoon by an 04 Escalade and sandwiched between it and the Kia minivan in front of her. I'm just fine as I wasn't present at the time, but Lee-san was pretty shaken up and has some bumps and bruises. As for Geneva, well, sadly she will probably be a total loss as the damage will probably amount to more than she is worth. Lots of front-end damage (hood, bumper, headlights), the windshield is now cracked in a few places (not sure how that happened), and lots of rear-end damage (the trunk lid popped open and the bumper was pushed into the trunk and the rear quarter panels are pushed into the rear doors). Also, the driver's seat back is busted.

So... I'm looking for a new daily driver. Below are some of my preferences. Please let me know if you know of anything for sale. I don't prefer buying from dealers, so private parties only.

Preferably an Integra (92+) or Civic (95+)
Preferably with manual transmission
Preferably a 2 door coupe or hatch
Prefer white or silver exterior (no rust or oxidation)
Prefer Cloth interior
Less than 165,000 miles
Less than $4,000

If it's a luxury sedan like a Legend or RL, will settle for an automatic. Otherwise, manual transmission please.

 

Hey get the new civic si

 

How about a 98 Toyota Rav4 with 130k, all options, tires have 75% left, New brakes for $4,500 Firm.

Let me know.
Vin.

 

Thanks, but I want a car (or truck that gets decent fuel economy, but no SUVs). Joe, I doubt they'll give me enough for a new Civic Si. A friend of mine suggested a 2003+ 3.2 TL Type S, but again... I seriously doubt they'll give me enough for that, too.

 

Before...





and after...

 

Julie... Glad your OK, Geneva does not appear to be. It looks like she was hit pretty hard.

Good luck in finding a replacement.

 

Well this effin' bites. Inevitably, Geneva is a total loss, but I'm only getting about $4,500... I guess it could've been less, so I'll STFU about that.

The rental has to be returned next week, so I need to find something soon. Any help, comments, suggestions and/or donations to JulieU's daily driver fund are appreciated.

 

get the mini S

 

drive the rental like all hell if you still have it. Tray sliding, rain drifting etc.

Best rental car I had was an '05 hyundai elantra, that thing kicked ass for screwing around in

 

LOL!! I honestly considered autocrossing it on Sunday!
