Daughter takes her permit test in 2 weeks. Only vehicles I have are my truck(it's nice) and a company car. She can't drive the company car and she's nervous enough about driving that the truck scares her.
$4k max. Can fly n drive or tow with truck.
manual trans ok. Awd nice cause 'sota. Euro cars scare me but we shall see. Nothing big but safety is important. Cause I've rolled and crashed my share of merde boxes.
don't need to buy now.
Whelp, my Q5 fits. Although, my TJ would teach skills, lol.
$1k over budget, but maybe?

Can confirm MINIs rip in MN winters.
I buddy's friend is an Audi mechanic. I'm checking with him on Audi's.
the mini is awesome but a convertible in -40f would be a folly.
I have this listed on marketplace for $4200. GRM price is $3500

I'll be listing a very nice 2008 A6 Quattro here this week. GRM price $4800 with two sets of wheels. Located in NY, however, so perhaps too far.
2005 GX470, in a week or so $3500 GRM price.
Buy me a ticket home and I'll deliver it. My Brother lives in Hopkins MN.

They don't even think about slowing down up there until the weather is a war crime.

I am PAINFULLY aware. I have the lack of feeling in my ears to prove it.

Since you've had such good luck buying from me...
Any interest in an '04 TSX?
It is a 6 speed manual, 160k miles, some rust, snow tires, and some annoying things that come with a 20 year old car...
I need to take pictures and list it for sale either way, but if you're interested I'll expedite it and get more details/pictures on the "annoying things" and rust and whatnot.
In reply to mtn :
Yes a tsx would be awesome.
this time I'd just drive down in the f150 and trailer back.
This is my favorite thread. We need a new one about every three months just to see what we all have are willing to get rid of.

Asking price?

I agree.
I think a MINI would be perfect for her, plus it's stylish.
That Honda would be terrific too, but she might balk at driving something that "square"....
In reply to SKJSS (formerly Klayfish) :
Ha.
You want an incredibly uninspired '03 Matrix?
It's deadly damn dull, but it's AWD with ABS, and it's a west coast car (I'm in western Oregon), so zero rust. Makes all of about seventeen horsepower and has too-tall gearing for the four speed automatic, so it is very slow. Manual windows and locks, tired white paint. Ice cold A/C and a heater that will roast a chicken. 19X thousand miles. Probably needs a rear motor mount. Recent trans service, clean interior, recent Michelins, etc.
I've had it for probably ten years and have been meaning to sell it for the last two, so obviously am not in a desperate hurry either.
In reply to DarkMonohue :
Ohh. Uninspiring and slow is good.
