you're a dumbass
first off, i can afford to spend 12k on a 'beater' while you're still driving an $800 (overpriced) turd with horrible reliability ratings.
second, this beater has to withstand the worst roads in baltimore city, be comfortable, reliable, low in miles, and haul my kid around. i don't need to spend $800 on something that will break down in the middle of the ghetto.
-
for that amount you can probably find a good Audi A4 or E46 3 series non M3

I know someone who just got a 1988 Mecedes 300CE (w124 chassis) coupe. It has 65k miles and was owned by a elderly couple. It looks brand new, the interior is not worn.
And she got it in the Baltimore area. These were the Mercedes that were built like bankvaults. And will last longer than you. There you go.
Old Mercedes, Honda, E46 3 series, Lincoln LS, 2000 Audi A4, Lexus IS300, Lexus ES300, older Lexus LS400 or GS400/300.

Or get a ex police vehicle at a Police Auction, cheap, big, reliable car. Or get a used Crown Vic, Mercury Marquis or Buick, general these cars were owned by older people, so they are well take care of.

I would not do the used cop car but otherwise good advice right there.
A late model Crown Vic, 4.6 V8, full frame solid vehicle, cheap, reliable and strong enough to go mad max if you need too.
No way in hell I would want to drive a unibody beer can on 695, lived in that hell hole for 30 years, I know how those retards drive.

Maybe I'm lost but a beater to me is like $1000. Showstoppa help me out here.
-
You're an idiot.
Check ebay, you can get a great car for 12k, you can get a good car for 6k.
again.. dumbass
if you consider $12k a great car than i assume you live in cairo. and unless you're buying new and don't feel the need to test drive you'd have to be an even bigger dumbass to buy a car sight unseen thru an online auction.

the only reason i sold mine was because it turned into a race car...it ran high 8's on nitrous....then i built a new engine, and it ran 8's all motor...and got 1 mile per gallon ;D

Thats great that it's still running and obviously running pretty damn well. Shame that so many cars produced now aren't going to be around 20 yrs down the road.

and its purely owner error...nothing is wrong with them, just harder to work on so people dont try to learn how to work on them..

hahah triangle rear break lights right?
loved those when i was growing up
i had a 99 prelude that had been lowered with a lip kit back a couple years ago
MAN i loved that car, i drive a truck now and i really miss being able to zip in and out of traffic
my old baby :'(

E39 5 series is an option & one of my faves.
I'd recommend a W123/W124, but Im thinking you want smth relatively maintenance/repair free. these are 25 - 30 year old cars and don't think it's smth you want.
check out the E46 or E39, awesome cars.

Right about the break lights. That car is so much fun to drive....still has some pep and like you said you can zip in and out of traffic. I hardly drive it now, but just don't want to sell it. EVERY time I take it into a shop, one of the young employees asks what I want for it.... ;D

Yea I drive my $12,000 dollar dodge magnum "beater" in the winter so that my rolls Royce phantom don't have to see the snow

Check Kelly Blue Book than you fucking moron. You obviously don't have a lick of experience as far as buying and selling cars goes. ::)
#1 none of those cars have mileage showing in the pics
#2 private party values are the highest of the three.
you're arguing about the difference between a beater or daily driver and a good or great car.
i have a jeep which is my current beater. cost- $4000
i have a ford lightning which is my 'good' car. cost- $18000
i am selling the lightning and using the money to A- get a $12k daily driver (beater) and take the jeep off-road (lift, wheels/tires, etc.)
starting to make sense? point being you can get an almost new car for daily use around $12k if it's decent. anything nearer to $20 is getting pretty nice if you're buying used.
i've bought and owned 8 cars and i'm only 27 and i've helped fix more for and been involved in their sale. friends are mechanics/dealers. family of car people, etc.
now think about that before you open your dumb fucking mouth again.

A beater should be under 5,000 dollars lol.... find an old honda prelude or something

1972 Pinto = 300 dollars.
