It seems like folks on here love to buy cheap cars on Craigslist, because y'all know enough mechanics-wise to fix them if they should break. Cars on Craigslist tend to scare me, thus, I don't browse Craiglist for cars much. However, this evening, I finally waded in to the sea of bargain beaters, cool projects, and witty, grammatically incorrect ads that is the Omaha Metro Craigslist. Here's some of the stuff I found:

1991 Volvo 240

JagvarBait

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - surprisingly cheap, even w/ high maintenance costs

1967 Crown Imperial Sedan

RollandBait

MeBait

Oliver

Autocross MGB GT V8

Awesome Volvo P1800

K-RollBait

And finally, the answer is always low-mileage !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !

EDIT: having now read the advertisement; this Baja is an amazing deal. Full cage, bus transmission, front disc brakes, etc.

1948 Hudson no motor or transmission no bumpers...Ouch. That being said I would kill to own that Hudson. Looked pretty straight and I am a sucker for the old land yachts. That Peterbilt was pretty cool too! So much want in such a small post!

If I had my choice of any sub-5k car in the world, I might very well end up with a black 1991 Mercedes 560SEL. But yes, I like all of them very much.

Ah, CL, it tempts me so and then brings me down.

$1k Beetle, ready to race.

So what are the rules of Lemons? Do I have to split the bill of sale into "Car, $500", safety cage, $500"

Thanks, fixed it now. I was looking at the International too, but it's a little heavy on the project part of project car.

I've found a few gems here and there in the Lou'. Most remarkable were a first-Gen M3 with stupidly-low miles for only $5K in stunning condition, an FD RX-7 bone-stock and allegedly with new seals for under $10K, and the 1990 Volvo wagon I bought (and still own) from Brentwood (now Dean Team) Volvo, among others.
