    Default Looking for cheap, dependable daily driver

    Hey all,

    I've got a sis-in-law going through a rough patch right now. She's looking for a cheap, dependable daily driver. Preferably 4-door, needs room for a kid seat (front facing). I'd prefer she deal with someone on the board instead of some random creep on craigslist. Anyone know of anything?

    Let me know. Thanks!

    I'm probably going to be listing my pickup for sale soon. Not cheap on gas, and its big, but it is super dependable, comfortable, plenty of room for kids and under-budget. New tires, koni shocks, exhaust, and gobs of upgrades from the time Whitener owned it. Just a thought.

    No doubt! Must be nice to be that rich.....

    One thought - Lease a new Kia Soul at $209 a month for 36 months. That just $2508.00 a year plus it will have a bumper to bumper warranty and A/C. (And as an added bonus OZMDD never owned it) ( Link - http://southwestkia.com/ )

    We helped get my sister a Kia Rio SX about a year ago on a super low $$$ Kia lease deal they were offering at the time it has been a tank and as many of you know she beats the crap out of vehicles. It fits easily in her budget and has a bumper to bumper warranty for when and if it has a problem. Plus it helps build up her limited credit history. We had looked at a bunch of sub par $5-$6K cars before we went with the Kia.

    My dad was so impressed with Kia he now has a Kia Sorento that he scored on a cheap Kia lease deal. I however being fancy went with a Buick.
