Re: looking for a clean 5 speed v6 car in iowa

I lucked out and found a car like that just 30 miles from m house, but I do regular searches for cars that match that descriptions, and I'm lucky to find one for sale nationwide.
where are you searching? Craiglist? Ebay? autotrader?

Re: looking for a clean 5 speed v6 car in iowa

I still do searches for those cars, even though I bought mine. If I find one for sale, what's the farthest away you would travel to go get it? When I was looking, I thought I would have to fly somewhere to get to one, and drive it back

You most likely wouldn't have found a rust free car in Iowa.. For something like that you need to look outside the rust belt. Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida are good places to look.

i figured it would have been worth a shot, cars out here seem to be cleaner then the cars were im from in the central nj area and when i was in ny state u couldnt find anything rust fee. i did come across a few really nice z-28's and irocs out here in iowa but i dont want another v8 car.once i get settled in out in pa ill start searching online in some of the other states and see what i can find but i already know thats the only way im going to find what im after
