88-91 accords, sentras or an old corolla are pretty cheap.. I bought a tercel for 160 once it didn t have heat though...

Spiderman 27-Jul-2008 11:21 PM

I have a 92 civic sedan for 500$$
auto tranny. nothing wrong mechanically. 379 something thousand kms.
Body has usual rust.

why not use your own car for winter...unless you are driving a top end car, not worth it dont you think

Cynikal.Mindset 28-Jul-2008 12:17 AM

4th gen civics....dirt cheap, last forever, and plentiful

jdm ek4 28-Jul-2008 01:43 AM

Sentra's are cheap like 88-92...thats what i have for my beater. The body is in the worst condition but the motor has only 129,000km. As long as the motor is fine and suspension, thats all that counts for me.

jdm ek4 28-Jul-2008 01:45 AM

Plus the insurance is cheap. $67 a month lol

Unless your slammed like my EJ1 you shouldn't have a problem running it in the winter, if you let the car sit for 6 months or so and don't properly set it up for winter layaway it could cause more damage to the car then driving it in the winter.
