    Default WTB $2500 car

    I have a niece who needs dependable transportation. She would like to buy from an individual and is looking in all the typical places.

    I just thought someone around here had or knew of the right car.

    TIA

    Edit for additional information

    I'm thinking 4 door compact. She would love a Miata, but she has 2 kids. I hate to say it but Honduh is our first choice

    A guy at work has a 1990 model with a recent top. He bought the car about 6 months ago for his son who has decided that he doesn't want it.

    He paid $2500 for it and it has been driven very little. He is located in Shermand and I can get you his cell number if you think it is something you might be interested in. I have seen it in person and it looked to be in fair shape. The top is the NA type with a NB color brown top.

    PM me for his info if interested.

    I don't know what the package or milage is, but I will try to find out more info later today. It's white with a black interior and dark tan top. I will have to call him up when he gets out of bed this afternoon. He works night shift on a compressed schedule. Paint was good to fair, but better than a lot I have seen of this age.

    That GP looks awfully clean for $3,600. Maybe you could help her out?

    I bought a 1990 Town Car a few years back for $1,500. White over red leather. Loved that car. Had to replace the fuel pump ($300) but it was otherwise cherry. Sold it on for $2,600.

    Those 5.0 Ford engines just go and go...

    I have a '91 Celica GTS that I have just retired. It's been my commuter car for years. Most of the bells and whistles- except the 4WD and turbo- also no ABS- it does have airbags. Everything works too.
    Silver in color with 200K miles. Still a solid car.
