Didn't you just have your bike listed because you wanted to save money for college? If you are serious about going to school then save your money and think big picture. I dunno where you are going to school, but in the time it takes to graduate you will come out many times further ahead if you put some time into planning your finances now.

and the point of a beater is to beat on it. my civic gets door dings and stuff all the time at my school i wouldnt ever think of driving a nice car there, friend of a friend got his brand new mercedes dinged real good there. the gas mileage is good, and is very reliable.

but dude your choices are all over the place, types of cars, power plants, and price..

Not so fun. You really dont want a nice car at school anyways. People on campus drive like jerks all the time, cant tell you how many accidents i avoided.

Nice car tho

STOP WASTING YOUR TIME. LOOK WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO? PLEASE STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON TRYING TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. FOR ****S SAKE, STOP.
