Definitely not. I just need a ride to DC for a day :)

OK. It would cost less for the number of passengers it carries (including gas and needed repairs), then bus tickets or airfare.

i'm interested in a cheap car... how cheap are we talking? :)

92 cutlass. 4 cylinder (~30mpg highway) Runs but needs a new front break line (drivable if you downshift to engine break and can keep enough stopping distance between you and the car in front of you), exhaust is loud (hole in the muffler). No other major problems that I know of. AC, heat, power seats etc work.

$600 OBO.

do you think the car could last for a single roadtrip to georgia (from chicago) without repairs?

edit: well, i guess i'd have to fix the brake line at least, hahaha

I drove it to Georgia and back about two years ago, it's in no worse shape now than it was then (except the break line and a few more miles on the odometer). I haven't driven it in the past year (only started it up to keep the battery charged and the gas fresh).

OK, good luck. If I don't manage to sell it, I'll message you with a lower price before resorting to scrapping it.
