or sell it, save the money you'd put into a second car, and buy a 2g gsx to enjoy year round.

I'll have a Nissan Pulsar for sale in about a week. About 140k, drove it to FL not too long ago and the A/C blows super cold (not that you need that for winter...but...). Also, barely any rust and it's surprisingly quick.
Josh, you know how easy it is to find a running turbo car for that cheap... and AWD for under 1g, you must be on something. Check the sunday paper and look at the sites listed and expect a N/T car. I suggest selling your car and using the extra $ to buy another car now. At the end of the winter it will be hard to unload the car (if it makes it that long) unless you have year-round storage.

You guys just dont know how to shop for cars? My 1st AWD was 3000 or some shit. Mistake and a half. My 2nd was 650, ran and drove. 2nd was 2300, and my latest is 500. Its costing me 400 to make it run. AZ car, no rust. Complaints? 500 + 400 = 900 = under 1g.
I can help her figure out a car, and for the record FWD turbos are cheap as fuck! I find them all the time. Thats what happens when you tell everyone you know your ALWAYS in the market for a good deal on a dsm. Also, I check the car sales sites few times a week. Any idea how many ppl have these laying in their yard between here and WI? Also between here and MO?

We bought a 92 awd 6/4 laser for $600 and it needed 200 in parts. That is 600 for a 6/4 with new hg, timing belt and everything. I bought 2 2g's locally for $2500 each. A 95 awd talon that I am parting out and my copper car that came with a FP big 16g 3" turbo back, BOV, boost controller, walbro 255 and much more... We don't know how to buy cars though... You paid more for your first 1g than I paid for either of my 2g's. Both of them were mechanically sound and reliable until I upgraded to a turbo 20g or bigger.

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING WAR! I am not trying to fight with people. I want people to just LISTEN to what I say and realize I'm not always wrong. Yea I pad over 2gs for 2 1gs. I also got 4 others cheap as hell. Im simply saying that it is very possible to buy a 1g AWD for 1k.

This is John again. I will agree with your last comment if you know your way around an engine bay. If you are either willing to work your ass off looking for one in Probate or if you are willing to do a lot of work.

Alright if you don't have a direct link to a car that she might be interested in then shut up. All this bantering isn't doing anything but cluttering up this fucking thread. Yeah you can find decent deals on almost everything if you look and are a little lucky. I bought my Laser Turbo for 1500 and its in great shape, but I got a good deal and they are not an easy find.
If you have a car or know of one that she might want go ahead and post it up, if you don't well then.........you know what to do.

WOW. Didn't mean to start this shit. I asked because my best friend bought a Laser for $200, and it worked until e started taking it off roading. Actually, it wsa extremely reliable until we started talking it off roading. I know those cars are out there, I was just asking if you guys knew where to find them.
