I didnt see a general car buy thread, but I wanted to ask.
Is there anyway for me to get a decent used car with $1500. Its all I have. Im job hunting right now and my engine blew out so Im screwed. Is $1500 enough or should I beg my parents for another $500 and Ill probably have to wait 3 or 4 months before they give it to me.

I could probably get my sister to take me around 2 1/2 hours out.

But are there any good cars I can get for $1500? Like a Camaro or mustang?

mustangs are possible to get at this price, but the ones I saw on your craigs didnt look to be worth it.

You could get a foxbody or 3rd gen camaro/firebird for cheap and fix it up. My buddy got an 87 firebird for $200, threw a battery in it, and drove it for several years. He also painted it and did some basic engine mods, but there are deals out there.
I bought a 90 camaro for $400, and swapped out the v6 for a junkyard 350, and junkyard 700r4 transmission for less than $1200 total.
Was actually a fun car, v6 exhaust was so quiet it was kind of a sleeper. My 83 z28 is loud as fuck with a cam and full exhaust.

lol OP here. Im not looking for a camaro or mustang, though I would prefer a year 2000+ car. But beggars cant be choosers.

+radiator and fan, and probably a shit load more of stuff.
Wow your city is empty of anything decent.
>>16412115
wait lol, that first link doesn't even have a motor.
I'd give me links of other cities, and I'll try to find something half decent. Honestly I'd save up a little more, or buy a cheap as shit car for now, and keep saving.

You could buy 3 decent beaters for that

Rebuild your engine, will be cheaper than another piece of shit car.

Dodge, and an auto, but cheap.
