Spotted in Pekin, IL: 4 beaters, $500 each!

NMNA

cough LeMons cough

They're sitting next to a local bank. If anyone is interested I can stop by and get a number and more info.

Snow Mobiles.

I forgot to add: I peeked in them and they are all automatics.

I think we should chip in and get all 4, then drag them down to the StL area and party with the backyard beaters!

I (as a backyard beater) approve of this message. Give me some time to fix my Buick though. That thing has been dead forever.

I 3rd that! Offer them $1200 for the lot, head to MO. I'm down to pitch in.

I'm not going to buy any of them since we're basically just treading water with me being laid off at the moment (These deals always pop up when I'm broke.) but would anyone like the contact info? I'll have some free time tomorrow while the kids are in school so I could pay the bank a visit, if needed.

Dang I would love to have that Protege' I just don't know about driving 5hrs there then 5hrs back in an unseen $500 car.

Well shoot... It's probably worth it if you can check it out a bit. Hit me with a PM. I miss my 98 Mazda bad.

WWJD?

What Would Jthw8 Do?

P.M. inbound.

Best wife ever, she said if they'd take 1,200 for the lot she'd be down. Haha. If we took my truck and a trailer. We could stack two cars on it because I'm just going to wreck them anyways. Then drive two.

Ok she needs to work on those logistics.

Wow. Checked out the Protege today...

A bit of damage to the exterior.

That right rear looks a bit wonky, doesn't it?

Well there was some oil in it...

...and duct tape.

And now, the interior:

The air fresheners and laundry detergent didn't even touch the smell.

Race pedal cover...ZOMG!!!

It smelled worse than it looks, like a centuries old dog kennel covered in limburger cheese and E36 M3. What's that under the driver's seat?

Oh...nice.

I didn't dare open the trunk for fear of what might be waiting for me.

In reply to The_Jed:

You sure know how to kill a buzz.

It's a $500 car. What did you expect? Self-propelled is about all you should be looking for.

My $400 Grand Cherokee doesn't make me retch when I open the door.
