Duster or Demon wanted

Welcome to the site erobbins,
You should be able to get something decent for 3 to 8 thousand in the condition you want.
Don't be afraid to travel for a good rust free driver. Just make sure it has a clear title and good paperwork.
You'll be better off in the long run.
Check out our cars for sale section or post an ad in the cars wanted.
There should be lots out there.
JMHO.
Tom.
