Who all has a beater for the mileage?
- Thread starter honestabe
- Start date
Found a mint condition 1994 Geo Metro with only 125,764 miles on her, brand new brakes, really nice paint, a clean interior, and only 2 owners. The soon to be former owner bought it with only 30,000 miles back in 97. Only paid $1200 (more than I was wanting, but it's low mileage and very very clean). The guy even threw in a good set of tires with good tread on them. I pick it up Tuesday since the ATM has a limit of $400 a day. I'll be putting permanent plate on it wednesday.
working on plans to sell off my 94 altima to get something cooler, but still w/ better than supra gas mileage... and quick :evil2:
I want a mini cooper*
*the old morris mini. later to be upgraded with a rear mounted hayabusa engine. probably dangerous in traffic/highway because of it's small size but it would ROCK i'm sure of it. it wont happen for a long long time if it ever does but i can dream, can't I?

99 f250 = 13mpg... somethings not right there
But now I only drive 8 miles to get to work, so I get to keep driving my truck!

Kevin! Glad to see you post again!KevinM said:99 f250 = 13mpg... somethings not right there
Calculated my mileage today, getting 40.15 MPG. Today I did an oil change, installed a new air filter, replaced the PCV valve, cleaned out the PCV valve hose, and replaced the spark plugs and wires. Gotta find out what code I'm thowing (check engine light is on) and replace the battery terminal connections. Put new tires on the same day I bought it ($228 mounted and balanced), and got a new stereo head unit and installed it myself.

I can't believe no one has a Mk2 for a beater. Am I the only true Supra enthusiast? It's a Supra, and other than the rust and leaks, it's damn reliable!
I would love to get an MKII as a beater, but they don't get triple the mileage that my Supra does on 87. If they did, I would buy 1 in a heart beat. Besides, I'd be too tempted to modify the MKII.

Well, it isn't anywhere near as bad as my Supra was when I bought it, so I guess it's not that bad...just needs new injectors, a hole in the radiator patched (shop's fault), heater valve, and an ISC...that's pretty much it.
My DD:
I hope to bastardize the car someday, drop a 7M in it and get it looking somewhat close to this:
:biglaugh: 7M-5
