When you know how to fix cars, CL and facebook classifieds is a very dangerous place to hang out. Last year I picked up a turbocharged Miata for cheap. Wasn't the best purchase for winter time. So I fixed up what needed fixing and sold it to my Dad come spring. He didn't have it long and flipped it for twice what I sold it to him for, miatas don't sell well where I am for some reason.
This year, instead up renting a car to do our usual Christmas winter travels to the upper midwest, I figured I would buy a car and maybe turn around and sell it come spring. OR hope that my wife would end up driving it since she refuses to learn manual transmission. I am NOT selling my 1992 Galant VR4...
Facebook classifieds has this 02 LL Bean for $500 that overheats, with 234k on it. Quick search here for a common problem might be a bad radiator cap. But the seller doesn't include the radiator with the purchase, but will tow it to my house for free. Reading that head gaskets are rare on this car, I say sure, why not.
