Default Need Your Recommendation On Beater

I've been using my '03 for a year now as a daily driver. I've accumulated just over 26,000 miles. I'd like to spend around $10,000 for a beater that gets me good mileage because I'm on the road all day in sales. Please and thankyou for your recommondation.

Since your in Florida you really have it easy on the weather. But I would still suggest an Accord or Civic.

You might look at the 97-99 Acura CL. Very reliable, nice interior and decent gas mileage.

Any red Civic DX with neons will do, just pm Mocky57 and maybe he'll throw in a set of lawn mower rims to upgade it

I'd grab a civic, and just to be an ass put a bunch of stickers on it, a huge wing, and some of them spinny hub caps, but thats just for shits and giggles, since you nkow what you really drive

I use a '95 Accord EX for my daily driver. It's a great complement to the S2000, because it seats 5, has a huge trunk, etc. The fuel economy is not that impressive, though. I'm probably getting about 23-25mpg in the city.

Plus, it can be purchased for well under $10K.

Thanks guys. I'll probably look for an Accord around '99 or '00. That will be a little larger than a Civic and give me a little more room too. The 4 banger would give me good mileage as well.
