Oh I can add Canadian address, and do have a .com account with mine on there, it just won't be eligible for free prime shipping.

VPN won't help.

Nice try though

Now it looks like it might not rain this afternoon...

Oh well. It's a dirty little car either way.

Looks like that so far here too, then again I don't want to jinx it. 24/31 days in July we got rain, and torrential downpours at that. August unfortunately doesn't look like it's going to be much different.

Those things are rust buckets. Are you looking for a second car?

Yea. I leased a 2013 Honda Civic Si and it ends Sept 4th thankfully. Worst car I have ever owned. I'll never buy another Honda again in my life. I want something absolutely dirt cheap (under 6k) and can survive NY winters (1ft+).

Looking at Volvo S40's, a few older Subbies, and some old Dodge trucks. The Mazda just caught my eye. A bulletproof engine and working heater is all that's required haha. 150k miles on a known solid engine don't scare me.

I dont follow Mazda pricing at all but did pick up a winter beater/haul the kids and stuff around. Scored an 06 Escape Ltd AWD with 100k on it, every option for $3500 cdn dollars. Darn near mint too, needed nothing but tires (came with winters only). So that's like 200 bucks us lol.

Ok the exchange is something like 30% but it may as well be the other number it's so ridiculous.

It's nothing too fancy but nice enough to drive and the 3.0 is dead reliable. Works for me.

I looked at them awhile back as a beater too. Around here they all had quarter panel rust, rust on the trunks, and underbody. Not all are like that but very common for that generation, just something to look for.

I'd go with a Subaru as a winter beater between the ones listed. I had a Camry v6 few years back, threw some winter tires on it and it was a tank haha

The good ole beige mobile lol. I'm just worried about head gasket issues with odler high mileage subbies. i've never had an AWD car before. A forester or outback would be fun though.

Davey · 08-05-2016, 05:57 PM

Don't worry about the head gaskets... Just get them done.
