But talking sense to people who don't like Miata's is like having a political discussion with your favorite demographic to shit on. |

Never left you stranded in 25K? Not that big an achievement. My first Lancer never gave me a single issue when I traded it with over 255K. The guy that bought it probably put another 100K on it before it got totaled by a drunk (it was parked on the side of the street).

Cool, Cheap, Reliable. Pick 2.
My strategy, get a beater you don't particularly care about. Purpose: Move my arse from point a to point b every time. Everything else is secondary. You might be able to find an old h6 outback/legacy in that price range, which are a reasonable mix of all 3 categories, but it would more likely be up north somewhere since they aren't popular in the south from what I hear. I got mine for 3.5k, but it didn't last very long. Though that seems to be atypical. Last edited by Spuds; 06-21-2018 at 08:41 AM. |

Bought: $1k Maintenance: $1.5k (mostly driveshaft, clutch, windshield and tires) Insurance payout for fender bender:$1k (fixed myself) Final sale price $2k How much did you sell that lancer for? I'd wager it is very close to proving the point that good cars can be had for $5k or less. |

Depend on what you define as"good shape" as well as "cool". You can most certainly buy working "cars" for that.

I'd be staying away from trucks with a kayak, unless it fits in the back. I much prefer loading/unloading my 17' if its on a car with roof rack.
With that in mind, I'd be looking for a wagon. Nothing bigger than the older style Forester. CRV might sneak in as usable. A RWD S10 with cap might work, those were reasonably low.
