Help choose my next car!

Am a wagecuck with a 71' Bug I'm constantly working on so I need something I can drive when it's under the knife or parked for the winter.

> Stick
> Drive-able in snow

Legacy w/turbo seems to fit the bill, I've always had a soft spot for it
>>
>>16173978
a bit mundane I guess. Plus I'm in the rust belt and I don't want to imagine the horrors most old stick civics have been through

>>16173971
Gen I Taurus SHO, gen II if you can live with auto for that v8

>>16173999
You can find clean ones. Especially for 5k.

>>16173971
Saabaru.

>>16174034
fair enough, I guess I'm just after something more unique

>>16174067
I love the Aero, noted

Go for a subaru liberty wagon, go for one with the H6 engine
>>
>>16174132
would one of these actually be in my price range? also I'm p sure h6's only came autocuck style
>>
>>16174069
you can't get anything unique and reliable that would make a good DD for 5k.
>>
>>16173971
Jeep Cherokee xj
>>
ford bronco 2 or ranger or cherokee or f150.

or TSX.

pretty much anything really
>>
Another vote for a Subaru
Good reliable cars for a dd in snow country.

Put 5k on a new fiesta.

I'd say go with a Subaru loyale or GL/DL great cars in the winter, can take a beating and the engine is much easier to maintain than later flat engines. Plus they are almost always less than 5K, but can suffer from rust, might be hard to find a rust free one. Then again it might not matter if the price is low enough you wouldn't lose any money picking it up for the winter and selling or scrapping it in the spring (now that I think about it don't scrap a loyale)

I've looked into them and they're so rare in my neck of the woods to begin with, and any that are actually still left are rotted out
