I appreciate the offer but that is too pricey of a winter beater for me (plus it'* a Ford

). I don't have a ton of money to work with so I am just hoping to get something cheap that will at least last me one winter.

I'm thinking about it. We use a lot of salt here in the Cleveland area in the winter. If I can find a beater under a grand that passes emissions(yeah it stinks) and will get me around to and from work, I will grab it.
