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.

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.

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

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.

Yes a tsx would be awesome.

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.

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"....

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.
