I may...gotta wait and see. Currently I have my winter beater, but may be getting another one for free (a better one, it would seem.) If you have $400, I may have a beater lined up for you. No promises, but it SHOULD have no probs safety/emissions...I'll update you as info becomes avail.

Dude...you live in Hamilton where 95% of the cars on the road are beaters! Shouldn't be too hard to find one. Just a tip though, spend a couple extra buck and get one that's certified and e-tested (or exempt). It could save you several dollars later trying to get it certified by yourself. Unless you have a hook-up.

Stay away from the 6000...problem-prone vehicle. You'd be better off with the Shadow....their POS's but like the k-car they are tanks.

The Stanza was certified about 4 months ago, so it will need little work... I believe it needs new front struts. The interior is clean and comes with rockford fosgate combo speakers (I don't think he's taking them out), needs a deck, and the paint doesn't shine, and never will..LOL we tried buffing the **** out of it and got nothing. It is carburated, but it started everytime I was with him.. and it has new exhaust, but its a louder exhaust.. lol

It did pass emissions, and I believe the emissions test is good for 6 months, right? So you can change the ownership with just a safety. I willl double check with him on the price for ya
