well tonight i was crossing 316 and got hit in the front the car, and its totaled. needless to say im okay other than a broken arm, but the car isnt. i am super f*cked beyond belief now that i dont have a car.

is there ANYBODY on here who can loan me a car or sell me one for SUPER cheap until i can get another one? as of now, i have no way to get to work, college, or ANYTHING. my parents wont be able to help me due to one no longer having a job and the other having to change jobs, resulting in a drastic pay cut. i cant pay for a new car since im still looking for a job, but thats gonna be hard now since i have no car. i can trade things for it, or do manual labor or something. ANYTHING literally. i NEED transportation.

PLEASE help me guys. and keep the bs in this thread to a minimum.

the 240 would need to pass emissions, and fix the alternator(i think, not 100% sure) honestly i would rather find you something else. as there are a few cosmetic things i would like to fix before i sell it.

Glad to here you're OK. Can you drive a stick with the broken arm??? I can make a call to some folks that owe me. Not sure on the luck I'll have, but both cars are stick shifts.

i really dont care about cosmetics. i could always just give it back when i find something else because ill still be looking. i can get it to pass emissions, and i can fix the alternator. let me know man its an emergency.

the 240 would take a couple days before i would feel comfortable letting someone drive it. and if you need a car say tomorrow that is just not going to happen. (plus the neon is cheaper than what i would sell my 240 for, just being honest)

yeah. i think that that neon was really 550 down, it said some credit bs at te bottom.

could we work anything out on the 240 where i get it ASAP and pay you when i get money? it shouldnt take long for me to start working, ive got a hopeful job lined up. ill seriously do just about anything to have a vehicle by the end of this weekend.

I'm still looking to see if there are any more cheap cars on Craigslist that need little or no repairs to move.


Oh and if you want a cheap Miata... I looked at this one. It has a blown head gasket. The dealer is asking 2500 OBO but the owner acted like he would take anything to get rid of the car. Had no rust, top was decent, interior was solid. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/566408594.html
