my first car. 1994 nissan sentra 2 door, auto. 500$ had no problems AT ALL. only thing I ever had to fix was replacing the alternator due to the big sound system I added in.
BUT, I bought this car from my sister. She had bought it from my grandpa for 2k a few years before I got it, and added a shit ton of dings and never washed it.
It was supposed to be 1,000$ but on my birthday she knocked off half.

And my E30, $1,000. ran decent, but ive had to do all the maintenance stuff on it. runs great now but im at least another 2k into it.

I got a '76 MG Midget for free from a co-worker who said he couldn't give it away. It was stuck in neutral and wouldn't shift. I towed it home, replaced a frozen solid clutch and my girls drove it for two years before I sold it for $2000.
In the 60's i bought a 1935 Chev for $100 because it had a rod knock. I pulled the pan and all the con rod bolts were hand tight so i retorqued everything and drove it over a year without ever doing anything. I sold it when I moved out of state for $500.

Edit: I did get one for free, but this is the cheapest I paid.

1992 Honda accord- 50 bucks

Bought it when a guy brought it to the shop. Said he hated it and wanted 50 bucks for it, so I bought it without driving it or anything. KNowing full well a cat on them goes for 125.00. So I knew I would not lose out and if all else failed, SCRAP.

Needed two fuel lines and a brake line replaced. The front rotors and pads and one cailper. And the reverse light sensor.

Cost me a total of 0 for lines(had left over from paid job), New rotors & pads from junkyard(lucky score) 25.00 and 10 for the caliper. Sensor was nothing they did not care about it to charge.

So the total was 85.00 for a clean running 92 5spd honda accord. I drove if for two winters and sold it for 750.00 because I wanted to help a friend out.

[SUICIDE109]

make/model? Ford Escort LX 2 door hatch (The Race Cort)
price? Free
location? Hometown
from who? Brother
description of the car? Metallic Red, Loaded except crank widows, my brother fixed it up and everything so it wasn't all that bad. Eventually hood flew up one day while driving, hit a mailbox and put it in a ditch, a girl I went to school with t-boned me. Thats when I started not giving a shit about it and painted 01 on the side along with other sponsers like Pedo Bear and R3Vlimited and rallied it on my property and blew out the clutch and the coolant system stopped working so I drove it to the scrapper a couple miles down the road.
