Right you are and with proper tires they go just fine in the snow.

The kicker is the miles I drive...80 a day round trip for work.Thats why I'm trying to find something good on gas.

Guys, I know 1500-2,000 isn't much but I'm hoping to find something....at least for one winter.

I've seen some incredible miles rung up on Ford Tempos but those damn tie-rods...they go bad,nasty repair..

Gas mileage huh? Hmmm....how about a newer escort then? 97+. I have close experiences with 4 different ones and they all still run just fine. High miles and all (120k+) :beer:

The only thing with those is the blown head gaskets.Did Ford ever finally get that right?I do know they can be had for cheap.

You could probably pick up a used Contour GL for that price range(95-96). Or how about a used 84-87 5.0 fox. They get decent gas mileage on the higway with the 5speed and the hatches with the seats down have a ton of room. We used to bring my brothers jetski to the lake in the back of his 87 GT.

I have my 1988 Olds Cutlass for sale

Black with grey interior, 57K miles, PW, PL, PS, Moonroof, AC, and CD player. $2000K, in the last year I've replaced the Alt./battery, tie-rods/balljoints, and had to replace the PROM to pass emmisions.

I have a 1996 explorer 4x4, 2 door, 5 speed manual that I am looking sell. It has 25k original miles on it. New tires. About to have new brakes. Runs great. It was my beater back in NY before I move down to Baton Rouge. It has shift on the fly 4x4 as well. It is a real no frills truck, manual windows/locks. AM/FM radio, but I could throw in a Mach 460 if you want to swap that out. I am looking for about $2500 for it.
