ok so today the car that was going to be mine to use in 3 days died and im fucked. the car already has previous transmission issues and is really old to begin with. now its engine is fucked so i just know im not putting any money into it. so now i need a car. i need something cheap. it needs to get around my small town and to school and back. something that will run consistantly. it needs to get me to the mountain. i go to smuggs, i live in essex just outside of burlington. it doesnt need to go fast or anything, just needs to steadily climb to smuggs. im not going to push it or anything. i dont care if i cant go above 55. for mpg i would like soemthing at least 14 mpg. im not driving very far except for the mountain. that will be the farthest i ever go. i know this is incredibly random and brief but bare with me. what are your guys suggestions for a beater of the sorts?

try and get a used wrangler man. there sick cars for summer (winter not so much but still dope). i have a 99 wrangler and its manual. i get 19 mpg consistently driving around town, and the roof comes off, the doors come off, hell i can even take out the windshield. there pretty cheap i think (the older ones should be). i can fit my skis in (a little uncomfortable for the passenger but you can still fit 3 or 4 paris in (maybe 4 is pushing it) with people in the car). there sick!!!

get a gangsta ass chrysler concorde.. i used to drive one, and they were pretty fucking fast, good handling, good brakes... but kinda looks like a grandpa ride. probably around 1500 if you want some class.

man wranglers suck for skiing, there is no room in them. and they are expensive even an old 90s YJ, plus unless you get a 96+ they ride like shit.

Look into a cherokee or grand cherokee from 93-95, get decent gas mileage, around 18 mixed driving. have 4x4 for the winter, plus can hold 4 ppl and all there gear in COMFORT!

there's a difference between grand cherokee's and cherokees, the cherokees are smaller with the same engine but they weigh a lot less so they get better mpg
