Don't get anything that was wrecked. Nothing with too many miles. It's mostly common sense. Edit: Avoid rust as much as you can.   -- Posted by snowcone200 at 9:23 pm on Dec. 25, 2008 thank for rust suggestion forgot about that one -- Posted by Half ton hero at 10:07 pm on Dec. 25, 2008 Quote: from ss454 at 9:00 pm on Dec. 25, 2008 Try to avoid anything with rebuilt transmissions or engines..

If there is a receipt for the rebuild, then I'd consider it. -- Posted by 80Kidz at 12:10 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 make sure the car can run in reverse for more then 50 feet. -- Posted by 4est at 9:08 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from I hate preps at 12:10 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 make sure the car can run in reverse for more then 50 feet.   I'm sorry, but what would that have to do with anything? My knowledge of transmissions tells me 5 feet is as good as 50, but I could be wrong. You're going to look like a fuck is you ask if you can reverse for 2 blocks. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 8:54 am on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from 4est at 11:08 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 Quote: from I hate preps at 12:10 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 make sure the car can run in reverse for more then 50 feet.   I'm sorry, but what would that have to do with anything?
