Default help finding a DD

hey guys,

i've been searching for a DD recently but really having a tough time in finding one. if any one is bored and wants to help out, please send me a link to the car, if possible

the ideal DD for me is something REALLY cheap but reliable and clean, 80's corolla or integra or civic or anything alike. i'm hoping to find one less than 2Gs.

(i hope this is not categorized as a WTB post since i don't want to buy anything, i'm asking for a fellow s2k brother for some help)

thanks in advance

Hell yeah. I used to have one of these, and put 120k on the first motor, and 100k on the second.
Remember to change the timing belt because if that belt dies, so does your engine.

Had a 98 eclipse gs as well. It seemed like everything in the interior went bad and the roof would leak when it rained. But the motor never let me down and got around 30mpg on the highway.

I would still go with a civic or corolla though

I think I changed my timing belt like 3 times haha, rebuilt engine at 111k then drove it until 172k

Most def go with a Corolla, you might be tempted to waste money on a civic by having that feeling to mod it. I swear I didn't change the oil on my Corolla for 10k and she's still running fine at 165k miles
