Quicksilver98 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 My Son has been savng his money all summer to get a replacement car for his ole beater Grand AM. He now has about 4 grand saved up to get something. (Thats a lot of Subway sandwiches he had to make! LOL) I realize its not a big sum of cash... but to him it is. If anyone has something they are thinking of getting rid of in the near future let me know. He has taking a liking to Mitsubishi Eclipse or something similar to that. Looking for something with a V6 and auto but would consider 4 popper if its not a total dog. Thanks Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in February he was in a friends car that was broadsided by some idiot texting on a cellphone that ran a red light at 40mph and hit them so hard it fliped their car on its roof. Thankfully he was able to walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I hear you it is crazy ridding all over on a bike in az. I have had some close calls from young women texting and almost run me over. Its a fact that a lot of people dont see bikes and they dont care.

Bigfoot Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've been thinking of getting rid of my '00 Sierra, but it's not in the greatest shape anymore and is not a small car and has a V8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyways As long as it's not a V8 it shouldn't be a problem. My son's first car was a 2000 Camaro RS. Insurance rates on it were no more than any other car.

Cross Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have a Mazda MX6 V6 but it's a manual. Nice and peppy though and for a 96 it's in good shape inside however the paint is not as lucky. I would let it go for less than 2800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ok, it's a decent car it was just sitting for a long time. I have been going through everything getting it ready to daily and probably sell. It's not perfect but it is a good car to start with, lots of fun, good ac, clean interior.
