[Vwdiesel] Geo Metro

>From what I hear they are good little cars if taken care of.  Another great
car if you take care of it and it lasts a long time is an older Saturn.  You
can pick them up cheap, well at least here in NC Craigslist is full of them
and at reasonable prices. Just make sure you keep the oil level full since
they like to consume oil. But for a low price, easy to work on and they get
in the mid 30's for fuel economy you can't beat them.

Not a diesel I know. But we don't fully hold to just VW diesels so I figured
some other car talk. I saw a Geo Metro 103K miles. It is the 3 cyl 1.0 L
with 5 spd. Issues I can tell is the right side has seen an impact but kind
of fixed. The outside is fixed but I may need a welder to make it a little
safer. Needs tires. I think my snow tires from the rabbit will fit on the
rims on the Geo. No AC and no CD player. Does have dual air bags. Cracked
windshield. Almost no rust. Talked him down to $750 for it. I figure I will
have that in the 86 Golf to get it running by winter and that wasn't for
sure going to happen either (time/money). The Dodge at between 6-10mpg and a
list of things that feels like it could go wrong I figure would break the
bank sometime as well. So now I need to figure if I get the Golf going and
sell the Dodge or the Golf and do I even mess with the Golf. I will at least
attempt to start. I have a couple spare trannys since the guy parked it for
that reason h  e said. Also have a couple injection pumps and a few rotary
vac pumps to sell to help fund it but half of what I make is my brothers and
if I sell half is his or if I keep $350 is his. Money money right. So now I
need to drive the dreaded gas engine during the winter while my wife drives
the 04 Golf (stability control, more air bags, better handling, further
drive, safer). Sorry for the vent. I need to research that car some more.
