Looking on behalf of my college-aged daughter. Her Hyundai Sonata's engine is on its last legs and I do plan on fighting with Hyundai on the possibility of getting a new engine at no cost. (Lot of known issues and lawsuits in regards to manufacturing defects causing metal shavings and thrown rods)

But even if successful in that, she will need a car in the meantime as I've read the process could take many months. So just putting feelers out for anyone that might be selling something pretty cheap that will safely get her around to school and work. If I get nowhere with Hyundai and we have to dump her Sonata at a junkyard, hoping that whatever replacement we can get her could last at least a few years to get her through school.

Budget would ideally be 8k or less, but would depend on the vehicle and condition.

I've got a '94 Acura Legend GS. It's a project car so gonna need tires, AC service, fluids changed, etc.

I've got a 2008 Honda fit with ~174K miles.

One owner and regularly maintained. Mechanically runs great (it's a Honda). Interior is very clean. Rear bumper has a big dent, front right fender has friction wear from larger custom rim friction over time. Overall body condition is fair.

Located in BCS area. Wife drove it daily until last fall. Would let it go for $1500.

Interested in the Fit if OP is not. My teen driver's vehicle is having issues.

Interested

Well I guess I'll get in line for the fit haha. I need a commuter now

That's an OG car! I've had my share of Honda/Acuras and the Legend has always looked great, I would say ahead of it's time.

I love the car. Owned it since '99. Just under 200k miles,

Farmer, Sent you a PM. Very interested!

I missed out on a sweet .30-30 on this site, but I may be the lucky new owner of this automobile.

Well crud. I'm the OP and was at work and didn't see this until I got home last night. This would have been huge blessing for her. Guess I missed out?

Thread Jumpers.

You didn't miss out. If you see my post i said "Interested if OP is not." Just connect with FarmerKeith and buy the car. I know a lot of folks were interested, so maybe the texag names go confused. If you change your mind, let me know so I can buy it because I am in a similar boat to you.

I greatly appreciate that...thank you. Car trouble really sucks, especially when it's our kiddos. I'll let you know if it doesn't work out for some reason.

We got you, you're first in line.

Harsh. If you read my post, it clearly said if OP is not interested.

FDXAg, did you get in touch with FarmerKeith?

Yes I did and I did decide to purchase the car. I appreciate your understanding and wish the best for your search for your daughter's car as well

No worries

How is the Hyundai? I am still interested in the fit if you no longer need it. Email in my profile.

Bump, I am also needing a cheaper car for my MIL but we are located in the NB/Seguin area, if anyone has anything they are looking to get rid of.
