Hey guys,
Did a quick search but didn't find much so starting this thread. As mentioned in the title, I'm looking for a running beater car with manual transmission. The wife has agreed on learning 5 speed and I'd love to have her drive the 325i but I really don't want to teach her on the bimmer. She's a new driver as it is, she needs some good practice on stick and driving around town (Airdrie) to gain confidence.
Obviously dont want to spend too much ... around $500ish for a running beater with stick shift .. enough so it doesn't break down on me or requires maint. Only really need to run it for a month or two for teaching then I'm done with it.
PM me with what you have or any better ideas if you have been in similar situations before.
Thanks.
