WTB reliable beater

Looking for cheap transportation for a friend's grandson. Within a couple hours of east-central IL.

Whatcha got????

How about a '91 Mazda 626 5-speed in Columbia, MO. He's asking $1300:

CL ad.

Sorry, should have mentioned - needs to be automatic only...and the more boring the better.

My lincoln is for sale.

The price I put on craigslist does not apply to GRMers. Lots of miles and it's a bit beat but reliable. I'll even deliver or meet you somewhere between us if you'd like to drive it.

'02 Taurus, 80k miles, light hail damage but runs and drives great and has frosty A/C. I'd take $2500. In mid-Missouri.

Pete, sent you a pm

Little clarification, what is "cheap"?

I have a 1994 Volvo 940, wanting to sell. Perfect for a friends grandson. Located in Urbana, IL, PM if interested.

He said $2k, maybe a bit more.

Gotcha. If the Taurus is a contender, I could probably meet you in STL.

Thanks for the replies everyone. He ended up picking up an Olds Intrigue from a mutual friend, nearly immaculate, well maintained, 127kmi for $1500.
