I have a 95 Civic EX Coupe - 5 Spd - Red with 92K miles. Iwasn't planning on selling it but I'll let it go if I can get $3000 for it. There are some repairs to be done though:

1. Needs C-V joints.
2. Oxygen Sensor
3. Muffler

Let me know if you're interested.

Dude,
I got a 1997 Saab 900SE Turbo for my winter beater for 3400 bucks. It had 181,000 miles on it. It has been spectacular thus far and the the seat heaters kick butt.

Get a Saab, they are awesome in the snow too. My bro had Saab 9000 he bought for 800 bucks, put 30,000 miles on it and sold it for 1300 bucks. It had 230k miles on it at the point of sale.

The motors and engineering on these cars is amazing. Turbo's go fast too.

Good luck. Look on ebay or Tribune.

Yeah, Saabs are really reliable cars. Not the prettiest thing, but they go forever.

I say Corrola or even a Sentra would be a good choice.

This, to me, seems like a great deal. Throw about $300 at it and it will go another 90k miles.
