reliable beater car/work buggy


Gixxus Christ!

Recommended Posts

Selling my 98 camry 2.2 4 dr auto. It's not pretty. It doesn't smell fantastic. It has its issues but it has never failed me. 197k on the clock and counting, as I drive it every day. Exhaust is loud. Shift cable broke and has been rigged with a battery clamp; it goes into every gear but park. E brake works fine. I have new shifter cable, just never had it put in because this works for me.

It was the delivery car for my mother in laws deli, the back seat is stained with every manner of spilled food. Cloth interior. Body is 8/10. Very little rust, one dent, missing some clear coat on rear quarter panel. A/c needs recharged. The heat will run you straight out of the car. Have replaced in the last 3 years:

Valve cover gasket, thermostat, o2 sensor, all struts, stab links, wheel bearing. Needs an allignment. Driver side back door handle broke off last winter due to door being frozen shut.

It's a beater. It gets me to work every day without fail. Selling because wife wants new car so I get her 07 sentra.

$1500? Make offer?

By the look of the damage he was coming down off my neighbors lawn with a little too much speed and hit my car from the front with his driver side. Peeled the fender, took off my mirror and scraped down the side of the car. Guessing on some damage to front end components too.

Ok....here's what actually happened according to neighbors.

A semi came down 8th to where it t-bones into Sheffield. It's 1 way to turn left and 2 way traffic if you turn right. He couldn't turn either way so he tried driving across my neighbors lawn. That didn't work so he backed into my car to get a better stab at it and then finally made it. Cops are looking for him but I doubt he's local and he's probably in another state by now.
