Kuruma Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 My car not only lost OD on the transmission the other night, but then promptly threw a rod through the engine block to add insult to injury So now I need another one. I am getting paid again on the 25th, and will probably have a budget of around $500 that day. I can't really afford to do major repairs on top of buying a car right now, but small annoyances are ok. Just no blown/missing engines, ruined clutches, transmissions, or anything like that. No cars about to catch fire either (long story) Transmission type and FWD/RWD/AWD not very important, though I'd prefer a 4-cyl for economy Open to more expensive vehicles too (around $1000), if they'll still be around early january. Very open to older Honda Civic/CRX/Prelude/etc cars, as long as they aren't about to blow up, catch fire, or otherwise self destruct. Must be able to last at least 6 months with regular oil changes.

Ziggy1647545504 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I've got an 88 Accord that runs good, but has no OD. Asking $700... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Was this your Scorpio? I have one I'll sell you if you're a masochist.. Anyways, good luck with the hunt. Yeah, it was the Scorpio. I have a little more confidence in the 5-speed models simply because the tranny in the auto versions was junk. I suppose I have a good week or two to think about it. On that accord, what's making the OD not work? How much does it usually run to just put a new tranny in those things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuruma Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 pics of the Mustang? and auto/5-speed? The only bad thing is that I'm only going to have $500-$600 on the 25th, since this engine blowup really smacked me hard, as I had just poured all of my money into a few other repairs the car needed. That said, if you aren't in a hurry to get it gone ASAP, I'd be 100% OK with setting that money aside along with the paycheck after to buy it. I like that body style. I get paid every other thursday and get $8.25/hour for 40 hours a week, and my expenses are pretty low right now, just food and some necessities. Work is walking distance so I can wait.

Ziggy1647545504 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sorry I took so long to get back... Sounds like you've found what you're looking for, though. Just for what it's worth, I don't know what's making OD in my Accord not work, I think it's just broke. It still runs great through 1,2, and 3rd gear though.
