How much does a cheap(ish) used car go for these days (Can $$)?

If your just looking for something to get you around, you can probably find something for as little as $3-4,000....it'll be shitty, but who really cares.

Mind you, that doesn't include insurance which is a pain in the ass...

Well, so much for that idea.

my friend bought a chevy cavalier (manual) for $900... it works great and he's gotten offers from people for $4000-$5000, it's crazy...

if you want a crappy car, you can usually find one for $1500, wont be the best working, but if it's saftied and passes the emissions test, it's fine

I just sold a 1990 corolla for $2,250, very reliable and gas-efficient, but used cars are probably more in Ontario.

what you need my friend, is a 1968 dodge diplomat.

all steel, bench seat.

so lets say some asshole parked on the line at your local topless bar, and that's the only parking spot left because cindy, the babe with the big'un's is dancing tonight. no worries my friend, just take back your parking space, and watch as your tank of a car shreds through that newer, prettier vehicle like a hot knife through butter. then, you can easily get out of your car by sliding on the bench seat over to the passenger side door and there you have it. even cindy will be amazed.

I'd give you my van for free, but then I'd be stuck walking thirty miles every day.

i enjoy having a huge car myself just because nobody else does
1961 pontiac

Actually, if you got for a cheap car, I would suggest a used Volvo... they usually last at least 350,000 miles.

I know here they are the cheapest car to insure too. Considering they are the safest car in the world followed then by a Saab.

'91 dodge shadow, used. 800$

94 accord here

Oh come on people, the best cheap car is a 1989 Ford Tempo. Me and the Tempo, we had some good times together, like when I first bought the thing. I drove it home and it was great, then I park it. An hour later, when I try to start the thing, it wouldn't move. So my dad has the ingenious idea to tie the Tempo's bumper to the back of his truck and drive it to get it fixed. Now common sense would say, "Hey stupid, the plastic bumper will rip off," but I just stood there in silence as I watched my dad rip 3/4 of my front bumper off. I then proceeded to nail a block of wood on the front.

Long story short, I got the car working again, and some drunk plowed into it when I left it parked out in the street at night. The lush was going 60MPH down my side street and wrecked it. Fun!

I'd have to say around 1,000-1,500 ; that's all it takes to get a decent old car. It may be ugly, but if you take your time looking, you can find a good running one for that.

400 dollars.

ah yes, the ford tempo. i've heard many a good story about that car. 60,000 miles later, it needed a new transmission. that's just one of them.
