WTB: $8000 auto trans vehicle (min. 4-doors)

as title states. small family needs replacement for POS dodge stratus with a billion kilometres on it

- low mileage, around 100k kms if possible because she has long commutes and needs it for work use.
- all the obvious points, ie. no rebuilds, no big accidents, local, good service history and tires/brakes etc.

not looking for a modded car. maybe small stuff like an aftermarket HU but flash paint jobs, mags, exhausts... do not want. just as stock as possible.

.... just looking for something nice and reliable so that they don't have to be worried about anymore.

thanks!

still no car. the legacy GT turns out had head gasket issues that the seller claims to not be aware of

trying to stay under the 100k kms mileage... she does a lot of driving because of work use/long commute so she can really rack it up in a short amount of time, which is why her current vehicle is so screwed up

i tried to chase a low-mileage civic for her that was for sale at LP Auto in rmd but i was too late

TheSalesman/Mr. Mayhew: more info on the CRV (mileage/pics/history) and the camry (pics) please...

I have a 1989 ford Centurion. Ford Centurion. Created by Centurion motors. 1 of 2000 ever made. trailmaster suspension, leafs setup for 1ton (half ton truck), Brand new tires and rims, 4x4, four door, seats 7....centurion was the answer to the suburban essentially a four door bronco on an f350 chassis. It needs two parts, 1: a yolk for the transfer case, 2: a sending unit for the fuel tank. The truck runs and drives in perfect condition you just cant tell how much fuel is in the tank, and there is no 4x4.

im asking 6500 but open to offers.
