Ed: So I chose an 04 Murcielago, he was asking $107,000 but after some shrewd negotiation, we met right in the middle at $1200.
Stupid ass comment
😂😂😂
@@beatstork stupid ass reply
@@beatstork its not stupid his comment is a backhanded way of showing how out of touch this with the normal car guy these people are
Best. Comment. Lol
$1,200 is right in Hoovie's price range, I'm shocked he's not in this video
Ed didn't want the liability of hoovie telling us what cars to buy...
One of the people in the video already picked a Buick Regal, Hoovie would have been redundant
Go-Kart Mozart why you got to be that guy.
Preston G 😂😂
Jacob Schumacher the girl that recommended the toyota on a cool car list took his place lol
Last summer I picked up a running and driving 2006 Pontiac Solstice, 5-speed for exactly $1200.
My first car - Mercedes 190 2.0 diesel for $1100
How tf... I need details
I was expecting Hoovie to come on at the end and say: I went on autotempest and found about 600 hoopties for around 1200 bucks 🤣🤣🤣
And in next week's video: "welcome to Hoovies Garage the dumbest automotive channel in all of TH-cam. I just bought 600 hoopties for my stimulus check"
The TH-camrs who act like you couldn’t possibly find something for $2000, have no personality.
*cough cough* Damon *cough* even admitted the choice wasn’t even his. 😂🤷🏻♂️
2000 mY AsS
Especially the ones that said you couldn't get anything for 10k
My Crown Vic was $1500 and only needed a new battery, as long as you kept it hooked up to a battery charger you could get it to start and the Alternator was strong enough to keep it alive for hours. For cheaper you can get beater civics with more problems than I can count on one hand for a couple hundred if you look hard enough. Friend in highschool got a Mitsubishi Mirage 4dr for $300 with 300,000+ miles on the clock. It served him about 35,000 miles before a ball joint snapped, he figured it wasn't worth the trouble and just got another car.
honestly from watching this video and the under 60K video it shows me how out of touch these fools are
"The best thing to do with a government check, is to spend it in a frivolous manner." Doug's take on this was a very Ron Swanson thing to say, I love it !
Ron Swanson is great! Just like Doug haha!
Isn’t that what the government wants though
I actually own a 2007 p71 crown vic with 100,000 miles on it, its an absolutely brilliant car, and id highly reccomend one, but even i had to part with $2300 for a pretty good ex cop one. Hard to find one with a good trans for $1200
Where is Hoovies Garage?! This is basically his whole channel.
Yeah it was weird to not see him in this!
Probably has like 5 cars below 1,200
He had too many choices and he couldn’t decide in time
I like Randy's 2k option is an old Volvo and his 10k option was an old Volvo with 8k of performance parts put on it.
Driving school/race experience were good mentions for the money too.
Volvo is the only car you need.
@@SeanHong1103 do it...
@@SeanHong1103 someone already bought it wtf
Driving school is the best advice.
Randy's wife asked him what would you like to get for dinner.
His answer to everything is
An old Volvo ...manual if you can find it
He's not wrong though!
He is so up himself it is rediculous. 😂
And make it a race car exciting stuff

12:37 “you probably going to get killed when you go see this thing” got to love Craigslist and FB marketplace muggings
My pick would dust all the others and look retro doing it. $1,200 car challenge?
LegitStreetCars Ed chose a 2.7t s4. or you forget.
Well? What IS it?
We think alike supercharged 3800 V6 😃😃
What is the coolest car you can buy for $1,200?
A 2001 lexus is300 with 200k miles on it!
buy crack instead
A high mileage, late 90s Miata...
Volvo 850 manual.
Hyundai Stellar
Next week: "What's the coolest car you can trade a red paperclip for?"
LJM2stepspain Suzuki Swift?
@@johanbuis1369 I'd take that 😂
Or buy a house
@@JerryDLTN you can definitely buy one for 1200 in gary indiana
LJM2stepspain what about 12 rolls of toilet paper
The driving school idea is a good one, actually.
aakar1s thats the best advice. Period.
9 minutes waiting to hear the most obvious answer: Miata !
Not sure a $1200 Miata is the right answer here.
I bought mine 3 years ago for exactly 1200. These days the prices going up. The whole body of the car in good condition but had some issues of course because high miles.
Jan Nevot good luck all mitatas are at 5k
I've looked for one for a while in my area (detroit metro) that is capable of making the drive home for less than 2500. I think they're on the climb

“Toyota Corona”
Oh boy that didn’t age well
This is a comment of the year contender
Do you mean the Corollavirus?
The AU 1980's Toyota Corona was a neat solid reliable vehicle, that one could beat on and it would still run & run & run
@@michaelrussell6661 - Much like it's microscopic counterpart.
"didn’t age well" The car aged well and corona disease was out already when they made this video. Your comment makes no sense.
"You can't buy a good car for $1200" I guess some people don't live their lives like a cheap car challenge
Eli Spencer
A $1,100 for an Ex Detective Crown Vic... I could take out 3 EcoSports... And it would still be more reliable!
My Audi 80 cost me 150 euros plus 60 for repairs. Drives like a charm !
$1000 Facebook Nissan 300zx for me. Had 180k miles and a auto but now it's a manual, good little bit of engine work, and a good bit more for under 4 grand
Some people are sheltered, spoiled, pampered, and clueless about cars. Especially those under about 23.
7:10
*Lmao Ed, my man Chris Warren at Premier Financial took it a bit too seriously*
*mans went out bought a car, then went to junk yards to get the rest of the parts....lmfao*
cubonenineO he must have been looking for a reason to buy that car so his wife wouldn’t be mad 😂 he bought that too quick 😂
I was waiting for the crown Vic recommendation.
Best cheap car you can buy. Lotsa room, smooth ride, built like tanks, decent power, good for 300k miles. I was a cabbie for ten years, and all we used was old cop cars, first the Caprice NC-1, then Crowns. Bulletproof.
Even when it seems impossible, I still sort of expect Ed to come at us with, "For $1200 I just found this [car I thought was $100,000]."
if Cleetus McFarland has taught me anything...the answer to this question is Auction Crown Vic.
Still waiting for Cleetus to be on VinWiki
Or Leroy the vette
God damn it you had to go and make me want a 944 again. My pick would definitely be a Triumph spitfire. They look great and only came in manual
Any love for the MX6's? 5 speed 2.5L V6. Make sure the timing belts have less than 50k kms on em (I'm in Canada) cause they go at 100k kms.
I was thinking ford probe, I’ve got one with the 2.5 V6. It’s an auto but still pulls
Yeah the Probe and MX6 were cool cars, more specifically the mk2 variants. The mx6 was such a looker and clean lines. Not too many on the road anymore :/. Underrated...
"Buying any of these cars would be the absolute worst thing that anyone who just had $1200 could ever do"
Replace $1200 with $10k and $60k, and you've just described the majority of the cars in the previous two videos 🤣🤣🤣
Except the miata those things are stupid good for around 2-3k and ive seen them run to 300k miles
@@Bobis32 Yeah definitely. I was mainly talking about the "cheap" Exotics that were recommended in the 10k and 60k ranges 😂
This episode was hilarious and great fun! Thanks for having me on again. Loving seeing everyone in one video!!!
When I saw the title, I knew you'd be in it and that your entry would be a solid one. :)
"paint it yellow and go jumping sand dunes with hippies" is the best response
“ you might get killed checking this thing out but check it out anyway” 😂💀
I love Casey he never cease to amaze with his energetic personality lol
a lot of cars prices on craigslist are gonna be rounded up to 1,2k
they won't talk about that b/c its not from auto tempest
@@0Heeroyuy01 isn't autotempest just a search engine? It searches ebay, craigslist etc
Hahaha when your a college student (who is a “dependent”) so you can’t get anything :(
Say less This is oddly specific
Say less race cars > child support ? And the corvair was def my fav option
when ur a college student who didnt gave a job to lose
s You think college students don’t have jobs and have to pay rent? Not to mention pay for college?
Matt Smith literally the stupidest thing, I feel like we have the least amount of money, especially when you’re paying your own way through
Awesome epic compilation of so many TH-cam car guys. Well done!

It's literally a gasoline engined "Powerwheel"
Chris nah geo tracker then you can go anywhere
@@adamoertel5587 I've seen a metro with off road tires..You'd be amazed at the places that thing was able to get around in.
Didn't all the front control arms rust out of those years ago? I'm not sure you could find one for $1200.
@@herranton nothing rusts out in Texas.
Being a current owner of a e38 daily driver i love pretending I'm more important than I am 😆 my 1990 volvo 740gle gambler car project on 33" tires. And my e30 is getting its 5 lug e36m3 z3m porsche 996bbk upgrade here soon! Great video
E38 master race. I bought my V12 750iL for effectively $1500... and have since dumped probably five times that into it.
@@rg0 I got to know whats the point in driving one of these money pits? Everything is subpar from build quality to reliability to hp. Sure it may used to have been good, but couldn't have been good enough to deal with the drawbacks of constant repairs
Devon I see it as an affordable aspirational luxury vehicle. If you can’t afford to buy a brand new BMW E38 when they were new. You could purchase a used E38 at a fraction of their original costs. With the trade off paying more in car maintenance. But it’s only advisable to go that route if you’re an enthusiast. Which means you’re either a backyard mechanic, or knows a good reliable independent garage to fix your car affordably.
If i had 1,200 I'd a..
2004 Ford F150 supercab
1998 Ford explorer sport
2006 Ford E350 with a 4x4 conversion kit
Great episode! Makes everyone feel young again. Of all those mentioned my favourite is the Porsche 944 needing a clutch and flywheel.
Wow, love the variety! Thanks again for having us in on the fun...
You bet!
As soon as I saw Doris, I knew the Camry was her answer 😂
First and second gen Camry are so good, I kinda wished I'd mentioned one!
bought a nitrous b16 95 civic for 2k, still dailying it 2 years later. love it, absolutely love it.
YES, finally some motorcycles! I love these videos because they find cars I wouldnt think of, but in all these prices ranges I keep thinking "I'm buying a faster bike"
I love how everyone embraced this except DDE, Damien is like “Ed I am WAAYYY to cool for a $1200 car”.
Addicted4Life ! That’s why I don’t vibe with that man. His ego is so high that he looks down on anything that isn’t a 300.000$ exotic.
DDE is douche with money.
That channel changed just like he did. It used to be fun to watch his Huracan or 458 in the snow. Now, it's always "COP ILLEGALLY DETAINS SUPERCAR DRIVER FOR DRIVING LIKE AN AHOLE ON PUBLIC ROADS."
You shoulda got cleetus McFarland to say the car we all know he would say lol

Donnie Minter Jr he’s more like the panther destroyer he just fucks crown Vic’s up.
@@RaggedyRacingGarage i do want one tho lol
If you think this is hard, you're looking at the wrong cars! I've bought two cars for under $1200 that became daily drivers:
1) 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4x4. Used it for 3 years.
2) 1992 Volvo 240 wagon. I've used it for 3 years and I'm planning on keeping it for many more.
Sure, the Jeep needed a new clutch and the Volvo had a few rust specks, but this is definitely possible.
This was a really fun video. I love getting to see pretty much everyone we’ve come to know and love
Even if someone finds a vaccine, these videos will still be the best thing to come out of quarantine.
Crwon vic
For 1000$
And straight pipe it for 50$
Wild the diff for 150$
If you have more cash buy your self a cold air intake
And have fun:)
You can put an actual LSD in a 'Vic for $150...
ahmed scot vics are going up, your starting to struggle for the budget
Again, Alex Hits the nail on the head. I bought my 2004 Pontiac GTP for 1200 exactly and all it needed was front tires and coils. Been reliable and fun car to drive when I’m not driving my S55 AMG!
Loved my Shadow, actually managed to weld the clutch pack together doing 1/8 mile runs in the work parking lot at my first job. Great memories.
Technically it wasn't $1200 but recently I got a 4.6L Ford Thunderbird with 79k miles for $1500. If you're looking for a cheap car, estate sales have your back, just expect grandpa spec cars.
James Sawley some of those grandpa specs are on point though. Gramps burning rubber in a Buick on the way to the store haha

I have 2 Supercharged T-Bird's
Blk 89 auto sc
Red 94 5spd sc
SC stands for Super Coupe .
Tons of parts n upgrade groups for the bird.
Fun car! My best friend bought one for $400 in highschool. Other friend had a Lincoln towncar with the 4.6 high output, and i had an 86 accord with a fuel injected b20.
Other friend had a supercharged pontiac fwd something or other.
Those are sick though, a few were SC right?
The list isn't surprising, but I'm genuinely impressed by the connections Ed has.
Considering how the last few years of my life has gone (divorce, motorcycle accident, 1 month coma) anything for under $1,000 would be great. So long as it runs decently and don't leak like a big dog.
I would recommend a crown Vic, I have heard of some still going at 300k miles, but you might need to negóciate to get it that low
1999-2010 crown vic
Or town car
Most of these guys are so out of touch with reality nowadays. "$1,200!?! I cant even buy lunch for that! How can I possibly buy a car for that?"
2002 Chevy Silverado single cab short bed but maybe a interceptor might be the greatest for 1200
Hands down a miata. I literally bought a silver one for 1200 and will post a video on it
Was it from Michigan?
There was a silver turbo miatas for 1500 here about month ago
Yeah miatas not a cool car , sad to break the truth to you
Michael Wilson that’s some little Dick energy
Pontiac Fiero. A black 1988 GT with the fully independent suspension just went up for sale yesterday that ran and drove, was a 5 speed manual, and had a 140 to 2.8 V6 with a NOS GM carback exhaust installed.
I have literally bought 6 of the 8 cars I've owned for $1200 or less. My E46 330I/5 speed was $900. Drove downstate, fixed the wreck damage just enough to drive it back home. Put 50,000 miles on it, her name was Helga. My next car (I still own and drive it) was a low mileage e28 535I/5 speed for $1200. It would have sold in minutes if the guy had posted pictures. 2 cars later, beater 96 318ti/5speed/LSD born the same month as me according to the production date. $1300. Euro-spec, non-running homologated e28 535I for parts, $500. Current bargain is my e30 325I/5speed with 102k miles, which runs like an absolute champ...$2500.
Dang you, Ed! You had to wave that S4 in front of me. Owed an A6 briefly with the same twin turbo V6 and it was a blast.
I’d look for a 95 Honda prelude or a 4-door ‘90 Civic EX. Love those.
I love the car that I already own and purchased at this price point, a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS with a 6 speed manual. It's light, low, and fun to toss around corners.
My heart fluttered when Eric said a Shadow ES. I miss my old Shadow everyday. Best $1200 car for a 16 year old you can get. If willing to spend more, there is a Shelby CSX, two door, manual, turbo car out there, limited production car to add.
My friends mom sold hers for $800 when the turbo went out for the third time.
Edit... that was about 10 years ago.
10:47 use the Corona money to buy the Corona car
Rise and shine with VinWiki!! Thank you ed for keeping the content coming for us I hope everything goes back to normal soon so we can have more stories told by great friends!!!
I bought a d21 hardbody for a Walmart shotgun and $200. Drove it an hour home and daily drove it forever. It actually was decently clean, 2wd v6 manual, titan wheels, lowered a little. Definitely one of the most fun to drive cheap vehicles I’ve ever owned.
I had some money put back when we got that check, so I actually used it to buy a 1974 Honda CB-750 for 500 bucks. And then spent the Summer installing a new Cam and doing a frame off paint job. Great Bike now, and actually pretty satisfying doing the work.
I am buying a super clean JDM right hand drive, mid engine 1991 Honda Beat roadster! Can’t wait to pick her up soon! 🚗 💨
You can get...and import a Beat for $1,200? Transportation alone is more than that.
Love the new segment Ed :)
Just bought a 07 stubby impress wagon for 2k 2 weeks ago in pretty good shape. A little front body damage, but runs very good with a 5 speed and it's 2.5 non wrx.
Super cool content ED!! Mine is a rough bmw E46 5-speed .
Love your vids. Can you do the best car to drive to the artic and back
I bought an 3rd gen eclipse that’s lasted my driving time period in high school which just ended with corona. About the same price range and my first manual so I’ve enjoyed it.
This is my first time seeing the new intro, loving it. Great work
Great video guys !
So, maybe the best thing to come out of COVID19 is more Ed videos!
We gotta get the donut crew on vinwiki
I was never a car guy in school or in my life but this Channel is so insightful and interesting even for someone who knows sweet FA about cars
I need that shadow! All I need is the front knuckles for my lowered neon so I can even out the angle of the control arms.
Last time I was this early, Ed was answering my question!
I have my answer: A 2005 Corolla with 250k km that doesn't have a lot of rust
250k means you are in Canada, good luck with that no rust part!!
An '05 of anything is going to be tough to find without rust or other problems, let alone a Yota.
@@armelind You're mostly right, but we also have coastal British Columbia where I just found a '92 Eagle Talon Tsi with a brand new clutch and no rust for about the equivalent of $1200US, which is what my choice would be for this challenge. And, poetically, the cheapest Corolla listed in Vancouver is a 2005 with 243k kms on it, no rust, and is $1900CDN ($1357US) And it's a manual!
I took this challenge to heart! I searched and found a 1990 Eddie Bauer Ford Bronco 4x4. After some shrewd negotiating we agreed on $1250. That is with the owner replacing the lock switch in the steering column. I paid the man and drove it home.
jared you are my favorite rn, i literaly picked an auto turbo mk3 up for $1000 cad and its the best
Once again, Randy Pobst shows that he's the coolest.
These "what would you buy with...?" videos have become one of my favorite segments! Always so much fun
Mine involve either grease monkeys doin' the "will it run" clunker rescues, or hot girls trying on underwear 🤣
Thank you guys, hope you and yours are riding out (car reference pun intended) the quarantine. You forgot to say the magic words - check Autotempist. I'd figure $1500 and look at a pickup, always a good backup. Cheap & easy to maintain, good for hauling junk, towing, and with 4x4 good for those crappy Minnesota snowstorms - and $1500 truck you don't mind dings and scratches.
A friend and I used to flip 924s and 944s. 87 924 that we bought for $500. We loved the car so much we shared it as a backup for 2 years. Never washed it, never changed the oil. It was faster and more fun than any 944 we bought on the cheap. BTW it had gone from ultra rare guards red to more rare passionate pink in color...
A 2004 Ford Crown Victoria (P71) police intercepter would be my choice
The video I been waiting for 😂
My husband watches your videos all the time and I watched this one tonight with him because I can really relate to the cheap beaters he buys all the time! Great show! Made me laugh! No Pontiac Sunfire though? 😂
I pick up a 1994 acura integra 4 door foe 400$ 3 years ago all it needed was a distributor and battery. still have it today love this car
I'm sure there is a Porsche Boxster out there for about that. I would question the IMS bearing, but it could be done.
Unfortunate at that price it would be waiting on an engine out service.
I already spent it on car mods
Also any 5.3l Ls4 V8 w-body. There 303hp and i have been finding them for less than 2k marks including 06-09 impala SS, 05-08 grand prix GXP, and for a bit more 06-07 monte carlo SS and 08-09 Buick lacrosse supers. Fun cars!
I bought a proper old man owned Chevy c20 for $1250. Last August.
Zero rust. Bone stock 350, 4 speed.
Ran great. Did 13,000 mile road trip in it. Coast to coast and back. Canada to Mexico border. zero issues the whole time.
Sold it for $4,200 a month ago.
What a Great truck.
here in the uk i'd buy an early 2000s ford dorchester
dirt cheap stretched aussie ford falcon limo with the legendary barra 4.0 six under the bonnet
spares are as rare as hens teeth but meh, it's a limo 😁
@CaptainKman There are so many Barra engines here in Nz, Falcons are awesome, but rustproofing is very marginal, by Purple one is a great car.
@CaptainKman I just sold a 04 xr6 with 300,000 super hard Kms on it, it had some of the worst rust I've seen on a BA, but man oh man did it go well, I've just got to put some suspension bushes in the Purple one in the next week or so and its back on the road. I have a BA fairmont too, and thats a great car. i prefer older stuff generally, which you may or may not see on here as time goes on. My 72 Fairlane is one of my favourites, its a really old school ozzy cruiser with louvers and triden slot mags.
John Ficarro trying time sell his 24hrs of Lemons car. Hahahah
Just before the lockdown started I picked up a E36 up for $350. Last owner (1st owner lol) surrendered it to a car shop which decided not to spend any time on it and just wanted to get rid of it. Granted it is 318 but it is manual. It does run and drive after installing a new fuel pump ($20). But I have also picked up a inline 6 from a 325i for $200 with most of all the bits and pieces I need (when the 4 cylinder eventually decides to go). Payed $110 for brand new rotors+pads from r1 concepts. Bought a set of used coilovers made by Megan racing for $250. I need a few other maintenance things (oils, filters, maybe some gaskets) and bam I have a good running driving street legal car for under $1200.
Mid 90s caprice or roadmaster wagon. These are very undervalued by people, all you have to do to make them fast is to replace the transmission. Only problem with doing that is those is that you cant see how fast you are going past 90 mph. I think last time I checked the average price on them was around 800 for one in good condition; that would leave some left over, possibly for a better gm transmission. These cars are fun to drive, because nobody expects to be passed by a station wagon. Even without doing anything these cars have some get up and go, most of the time I could be at the next light by the time the other lane saw it had turned green. I will say to watch out in the rain, these cars will slide, almost to the point of driving sideways ( if you are punching the gas). Other than that they are just big boats that you can give seven friends a ride in.
10:10 Guy must be trolling "Never heard of a 7M having head gasket problems"
