Specifically looking for something owned and maintained by a GRMer. An automatic Corolla would be good enough. I hate working on rusty E36 M3boxes, hence the southern requirement. Not much in the classifieds at the moment. Buehler?
also, I'm still lamenting the loss of the E60. That really threw a wrench into my fleet plan.
Have a neighbor that has an early 2000's Corolla. Automatic, cloth interior, silver exterior, probably some faded paint/dead clear coat since it sits outside. Best I remember it had around 190k miles. Needed tires, headliner was drooping, probably few other needs but it did run. I almost bought it a few years ago but passed on it. He's an older man that used to sell cars here and there and he has a couple still sitting around. $800 would probably buy it.

This Car in MI claims to be recent from FL.
It's the car to buy if you have a million dollars!
Also claiming to be southern but in MI
Yaris
Taurus
Acura
Altima
Grand Cherokee 4.0L
Subaru that could be desirable 2.2L
Rust free southern E36 M3box names most all my stuff, and most all the stuff around me.
Wish i had something for you, or knew of something.
What happened to the BMW?

I'm guessing this time Miata is not the answer?

Wow, you seem angry......(JK - your name)
In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :
I found those all fast by searching keywords. I went to Ann Arbor CL and searched words like:
Southern, South, and the states that you think of as rust free like Florida and Carolina as well as their two letter abbreviation
Check out the underside pic of this Volvo I thought was not right for you and a bit expensive for your goal but generally sweet. 960
I also sent you, via email, a Prius lead and my Prius Buyers Guide.
What's AK2?
We have an 08 Mazda 6 for sale that's ugly but Alabama car/rust free, New tires, etc for $2k. 160k on the clock and the AC works.
I believe it means "Angry (Corvair's) Kid 2"
Poor bodywork by a PO flaking bondo, not thick but coming off where someone skimmed a good coat on a damaged 1/4 and sprayed it, and the dog tried to get the car that hid under the hood. Ugly. Will get pics if you want

I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you. Sorting some possible issues before I sell it to a GRMer
2.4 4 cyl, auto, ac works
Not southern but a pretty clean 2010 Saab 9-3. I bought it in 2011 for my wife. Went to my son 2 years ago. He is off to MSU and we have too many cars. Always serviced. New summer tires and if wanted new winter tires both on Saab wheels. I have a lift if you want to check it out. We are in Grand Blanc about 1/2 hr from you.
I'm going to be selling my Volvo in the next couple weeks as I am moving to California. Invested almost $10,000 planning to drive it into the ground and I will be taking a bath and asking $3k obo, includes a winter wheel/tire setup and other goodies. Not a southern car though. I'm in SE Wisconsin.

That's a good looking wagon
In reply to Indy "Nub" Guy :
I will miss it
But it is an excuse to buy something crazy like a Porsche in California, soooo....
In reply to cdowd and pointofdeparture :

In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :
No build thread but I just created another post in this forum with full details and more photos.
In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :
The Saab was never a project. Bought 1 year old for my wife. She got a TL with 12k miles and it went to my son. It is the oldest car at the house so it must go. Also asking 3k.
In reply to cdowd (Forum Supporter) :
PM'd the other day, would definitely like to know more about this car. Please email to AngryCorvair at gmail dot com.
