I pick it up tomorrow, it’s a 1986 Dodge 600SE, 4 cyc, 2.2L I believe. It has 48,000 miles on it. An older gentlemen owned it and just drove it around town. It runs great, seems strong on the turnpike, brakes and everything feel real good, new exhaust but the typical rust underneath.

Hopefully it will be a good beater car for only $550. Anybody know anything about these cars as far as common problems?

Just nice having a beater so I don’t have to drive the Lightning in the snow and salt. It will be even better now because tomorrow I pick up my Lighting from the body shop. Went in Tuesday to have a small ding on the fender repaired as well as some light scratches in the clearcoat in the hood and a run in the paint on the tailgate. It’s all be covered under warranty…

The thing that really sucks is I won’t be able to Zaino it for at least 30 days…

 

LOL

You have now officially joined the insane ranks. Next is you'll be getting a beater that is *almost* as fast as the L

 

Yeah... You'll be driving the beater while your daughter is driving the L.

 

good choice in buying a beater!!! i bought my beater last november! i've put about 19,000 miles on it.

i bought an 87 mustang 2.3L 4 cyl with 40,776 miles...thing pulls like a MOTHER on the highway! red lights? forget it...no box truck or 18 wheeler has a chance against me! (so long as they are carrying a full load)...it was the smartest investment i've made since the Lightning.

 

i need to get a beater. that way i can say...its a nice weekend...time to take the L out vs its raining like a ****...and i need grocieries time to take the newly washed and waxed L out....

 

Thats not a beater.........

a beater is something that was made in the mid 70's and very large

 

Gator, you don't have a Beater,
YOU HAVE A BARGE

Good Luck XLT, good to have a second car

 

Hmmm. well if SlowSVT95 showed up over here then could I be considered to have a beater?

 

I didn't know Leeann was a "healthy" girl..

 

Jerks

 

That about sums it up...

Just kidding with you dear...

 

The battlewagon

 

Yeah, you better be.

 

I am driving a 1995 aerostar cargo van with 240,000 miles!! Runs great and keeps the salt and rain off the Lightning...

 

Absolutely my dear…

I don’t want to get smacked up side the head should I ever meet you one day…
