150K miles? You can do better than that for 3K$. Just get something smaller like a Hyundai accent or a Ford festiva or something.

150K is just asking for problems. Especially in MI.

Also, your links are messed up.

I drove a Subi to 250k miles with few problems so I guess I have no concept of how many miles are too much. Craigslist doesn't have too many good options at the moment

The most important thing is never buy a blue car.

Okay, well that's just my opinion. I'm not a car guy.

Check out this Lincoln with 80K miles.

Ooooh. A 20 year old Saturn with a stick and only 68K miles... I used to have one of these. Great car. But that age with that mileage scares me.

Your best bet for cheap parts will be the Impala over the Grand Prix.

I vote for the Gran Prix....I got laid in one of those in 1977. Of course then they were a bit larger.

I think Wakie should buy the Lincoln, he'd look like a baller in that.

I don't know, it was after a football game so in the fall. Wearing tight pants always got the ladies back then.

Blanch was born in the summer of '78. Just saying.

Update: gold impala guy didn't let me test drive it Official Car Thread 502811600

bye

by **Death Roe** 2016-04-29, 13:54

Why the hell would you offer a car on CL if you won't let anyone test drive it. I'd report him, tbh. That's a baaaaad sign.

by **Tim Wakefield** 2016-04-29, 15:22

Update! Snagged a 2001 Bonneville, 120k miles for $2700. Everything checked out by a mechanic and it has a sunroof. Offered him $2200 and he didn't budge. Reluctantly accepted the deal of 27. Not happy about it but this thing runs smooth and looks decent. I'm content. Definitely an upgrade from the Subi

I drove a 1999 Impala something like 15 years ago. It was an ok ride.

Nope. Just don't want to be a blue, or see my internet friends be a blue.
