Okay, my buddy who occasionally posts on here is looking for a second car. He is putting too many miles on his GTO and his former DD, a 1986 4Runner was stolen and crashed into a tree.

Lets make it into a game!

—Rules—

Must not have much more than 150K on it

Must be $5K or less

Must sit four comfortably, bigger is generally better.

Must be reliable enough to daily drive

Lastly, he is a Jalop, so no camry's or corollas, or any of that shit. RWD strongly preferred, though not an absolute. Same with M/T. He generally prefers American cars and wont drive anything with even a hint of rice.

Here's a link to our local craigslist. Lets see what you guys come up with!

Sadly it is missing the factory recaro seats. It can seat 4 people, has 149,000 miles, is RWD, and has one of the rarest option packs.

holy...that...wow.

Sadly though he would absolutely love that, i dont think its reliable enough to DD and is also probably a bit small.

I knew vaguely that they made a turbo'd trans am, but i know almost nothing about them.

Yeah, he says he'll buy a crown vic if he can't find anything more interesting.

While I dont love the idea, it is cooler than most.

I bought my CVPI from that lot. They no longer sell just ex-police cars.

But the website still directs there: http://www.usedcopcars.com

Tell him to look into the crown vic sport, its more interesting than a cop car

All you need to know was the engines were crap and most of them were replaced by a small block of some kind (that's what a PO did to my car).

Hey!
fellow Seattelite here! :D
I came a cross this whilst helping a friend find a car, hope it helps!

the ad says it's a manual, but it's actually an auto.
same engine as a Gti, but with a few less ponies.
with a $500 APR tune, from say Achtuning of Redmond these can develop about 200 horsepower!
plus, it's the German workhorse we all know & love
