I was paging through the very low end of the Craigslist car & Truck offerings (as I normally do at work), and started wondering what’s the absolute cheapest running, driving car or truck I could find was.

I’ll get to my find in a minute, but I’d be interested to see what the good folks of Oppo can find in their local Craigslists.

The rules are simple. Find the cheapest car/truck/van whatever (no motorcycles, ATVs, etc) that you can. According to the ad, you should have the expectation of being able to pay for the vehicle and drive it home. It must have a good engine and transmission, all glass, and not be missing major body parts. This would be something you could buy and drive without anything beyond general maintenance items.

So, here’s the best I could do. A running, driving 6 cyl, 2wd 1985 F-150. At this price how could you NOT buy it?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Shw me what you’ve got.

when reading craigslist “runs” does not mean runs and drives.

True, but for the purposes of this contest, we’ll assume all sellers are being honest.

I had a $400 Dakota waiting in line if you tossed out my Discovery.

There were quite a few neat old pickups closer to $800 range, but as far as cheapest this S10 Blazer takes it for $400.

How about this, it’s technically a “car” isn’t it?

If not that, next cheapest is this. It just doesn’t go forward.

If not that, this is the cheapest car that meets all criteria

Price does not include accurate information.

Does not appear to be a robin/rialto. Probably some Indian or Chinese knockoff

I’d still buy it. That’s easily $100 worth of novelty right there.

This was a pretty recent post - probably won’t last, $500 running Ford Ranger with “new tires?” AND it’s a 5 speed, and not rusted to death, in NH...

or this - a 4x4 F150... (PS I think the best part of this exercise is seeing all the ads that start with something like “Runs, drives, stops” or, “goes good, stops good.”
