Even at $200/week, 3 months is gonna be $2,400. You should be able to find something reliable for less than that. And if you won't need it afterwards, sell it and recoup at least half of what you paid.

Gah, have you EVER bought a used car? They're EVERYWHERE.

Might I ask just why you want to rent for an extended period of time?

Always research any model you consider buying, for reliability. There's only one way to know if a car is reliable, that's to drive it. And own it. At least you can drive it before you own it. The rest is luck.

For $2500, look for early 90's and work your way up or down depending on quality and price.

You might even try BigBadBuick on here, he may have something in that price range. If I were to buy from a used car lot, I'd probably go to him first. Despite what I may say about used car salesmen and dealerships in general, I like his general attitude on here.

And make sure whoever it is has the title when you go to check out the car.

Hell no, that beater was digital james' old station wagon. Its been a decent way to get around and haul my parts since I took the porsche apart though.
