Beater commuter car - $500

Still looking, I've got a few months yet so I can be a bit picky.

So you're looking for a car with a solid, good running engine and transmission that gets good gas mileage for under 500$?....... Lol, good luck.

Hey, there's always motorcycles. You could find some 80's bike for cheap.

Had an 80's bike...1980 Honda. Not a great commuter vehicle (not a big fan of bikes on the freeway honestly, too many idiots don't see you), sold it for 3x what I bought it for!

I didn't say running, I said solid....I'm looking for a mechanic's special. Maybe it's got a blown headgasket, or the clutch is out. Or it's been in a non-major accident. I can fix those issues no problem.

Maybe you should hit a few car auctions, bet you'll find exactly what your looking for there!
