Looking for winter car.

[bottledbird68]

Ok, figured I'd ask here and see if anyone knows of anything not advertised.
Been all over craigslist so I know what's there. Looking for either a wrx, or awd talon/eclipse. Lots of miles ok if price reflects it. Body damage is cool too and actually almost preferred lol.
Basically wrx for 5g's ish or dsm for half or less. Not looking for a gem. Just a beat up old shitbox that we can still enjoy driving all winter

We made wrex too nice and don't want to subject the poor car to salt and sand anymore. Anything out there off the beaten path? Condition not important as long as price reflects it. Thanks guys

Umm, no. Awd, 4x4, or maybe rwd only. NO front wheel drives. Can't stand them. Really want one of the two types of car mentioned in the first post but I suppose for the right deal I'd consider anything other than fwd.

On another note, there's another country heard from. How you been?

No worries. I've already found a few in the range I'm looking for. Just nothing I felt like diving on yet.
Figured I'd ask here in case there happened to be some killer deal anyone new of that wasn't advertised. I have what I have cause I scrounge for the right deals, not cause I'm well off lol.

But yeah, I'm doing pretty good myself

No thank you. I'd rather lose traction and have the rear end walk around than lose my steering. I never wound up in more snowbanks than the winter I drove a cavalier. I swear my 68 was better in the snow lol.

Only for the retarded. I will never own another FWD again because I hate how they drive in the snow/bad weather. You lose traction at all and now you can't steer. Snow tires are the key to going in the snow, not which wheels drive the car. AWD/4WD just helps negate the need for snow tires to an extent

That is why my cobalt has Blizzaks on ALL 4 wheels. That car is awesome in the snow.
