I’m not finding anything in my area worth the $6,000 people are asking for their junk. What about this to get me around? 35 min commute at 11pm and 7am...

I'd buy it.
Seems like a great price for that car if it checks out.
Throw belts at it and drive it. Those are pretty darn good appliances.
It's a Honda with only 71,000 miles. Should give you reliable transportation for as long as you want it. My first question is why is the mileage so low? If my math is correct, that's under 4,000 miles a year.
Is that... a gray Honda Accord?!

I’d say grandma but it’s a manual.

They’ve been kicking butt around me lately.
What about this?
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
You should buy a gray Honda Accord to see if it gets totaled by a 2005 Yukon...

There’s four white Yukons near me for sale. I can’t bring myself to do it.
Or to see if you then total somebody else's 2005 Yukon...
In reply to Matthew Kennedy :
It sounds counterintuitive but I’d much rather be the victim. It’s working out well for my bank account
I had a 99 accord coupe with F23/five speed. Real slug, performance wise, but made a great appliance. Sold it when it topped 220k, and I had an extra car I couldn't justify. Clutch lasted to 210k, and my wife's dad used to slip the clutch to hold the car on hills! I put in a 12 lb flywheel when I changed the clutch, made almost no difference. F23 has NO performance potential.
BTW, the modification I would recommend is Acura Integra Type R calipers and Vtec prelude rotors on the front. It's a bolt on with the (if I remember correctly) Integra caliper brackets. Huge improvement over stock. Still wasn't fun to drive, but fun to stop!

Yeah but can you imagine how many insurance agent's heads would explode if this happened a third time?
The Accord is basically a zero loss car. Buy it, drive it until you hate it, sell it for the same amount. Wail on it, try to have fun, move on.
Or throw a cheap nitrous kit on it for stoplight LOLz.

Set the parking brake so it doesn't roll into your house!
that looks like a steal to me.

Maybe Accords are magnetic, and having an Accord there will repel other Accords.
EvanB said:You should buy a gray Honda Accord to see if it gets totaled by a 2005 Yukon...
Hmm.
If Accords are magnetic to Yukons, this would work.
$8,000 buys a somewhat decent Dodge 4x4 4.7 with 150,000 miles around here. $7,000 for a 180,000 mile Tundra and $6,000 buys a Silverado with rotted rockers or F150 that needs shackles and hangers.
Who’d spend $6,000 to $8,000 on a truck with high miles and rust or rot?
New England is ridiculous.
As if this crowd wouldn't have an opinion.
I'd do the Accord. Like Seth said, it's a zero loss car. You can always get your money back out of it.
Plan for belts, hoses, and tires but otherwise looks like a steal. Get this before the tax refund checks drive everything up in price.
MkV GTI.
