looking for a cheap/reliable car in the $1.5k-2.5k

Does anybody know here someone who is selling a reliable car for cheap. I don't care about how it looks. But I need to take to a long road trip and then resell it so something that falls under that criteria.

I mainly looking at 90-95 civics. I think an auto might be even more reliable, and not a ricer looking one. there are so many that I have no clue where to start, plus not having a car to go check them out really sucks.

Toyota tercel FTW. I had a buddy that had a 96 that NEVER changed the oil, just filled it with gas and drove it. Best car ever.

it would cost me $1000, because it's a one-way rental.

there are too many choices, I have no clue where to start.

I don't get why people do stuff like that when they are trying to sell a car. It's a total Jerk move to do d-bag stuff like that.

Just because you thought nobody would I did go through all of those. The 4th one was Flagged to be Removed.

The Nissan 200SX is a good car. Looks like it's in pretty good condition as well, but hard to tell without seeing the car in person.
