Something reliable, good on gas...preferably a hatchback of some sorts. Throw out a few ideas on what might be good to look for...

 

Civic.

 

crx? I have a friend selling one. PM me if you want and i'll give you his number

 

what kind of condition is it in and how much does he want for it? i hear they get really stupid gas mileage

 

if you were willing to spend a little bit more i'd sell you my ranger for a pretty good deal.

 

auto auction...

i picked up my stanza for $150. there are shitloads of accords/626s/sentras to be had with decent options at that price.

my bosses old car was a 626, had 280,000 miles and not a leak or weird noise. another buddy of mine also has one (same color even) and has 330,000 i think... great daily drivers.

 

hey just pm me and i'll give you his number. I don't know that much about it but it does get huge gas milage...right around 40 mpg i think

Edit..I pm'ed you
