Readers’ Rides:
1993 Plymouth Duster
Added on Aug. 10 by P71
It’s a non-running $50 car that I pushed-bumpered home as a project. It’s a 3.0L OHC V6, 5-Speed Manual, and that’s about all I know about them. It’s Bright Red under the moss and mold. I’m going to fix it up and sell it off. Originally it was supposed to be a racecar, but she wants a Miata instead. ;)
The gamble has worked out great so far as it RUNS!!! Yay for me!
Here’s the budget list so far:
$50.00 Car
$10.00 Affidavit
$10.00 Notary
$29.47 Title
- $2.73 Change found in car
$44.09 Ignition Switch
$71.99 Battery
$12.20 Oil
$3.79 Oil Filter
$14.38 Wiper Blades
$47.75 Registration / Tabs (1 Year)
$35.00 Junkyard window and wheel/tire
$5.00 Car Wash (to use the pressure wash feature!)
$330.94 Total Investment.
