@Snake is in my inner circle. The man is a prayer WARRIOR with a hotline to God almighty. THAT'S the kind of guys I need in my foxhole.I accidently called him 10" tall and bullet proof instead of 10' tall and bullet proof in a post. Ill never live it down called the man a midget.
He seems to be a great man! I have talked with him some on here. He defiantly is a true man of God. Now, lets see here @rem270 May be the perfect fit for this car. We can put a fan on the back of it for you Brother instead of a spoiler and it can be dual purpose. you can drive it turkey hunting and use it as a dig decoy.
Then throw em all in the back!
No where near being a great man ...wretched sinner saved by grace is all I be . Thanks for the thought though but I'll fall like the next man probably more . Put your faith in God through Jesus Christ . Love you guys !He seems to be a great man! I have talked with him some on here. He defiantly is a true man of God. Now, lets see here @rem270 May be the perfect fit for this car.

Love you brother!

The Henry is gone so that part of the deal is out. Lol.
Come take a look and make an offer. This is now extra vehicle that he doesn't need.

$3500
I assume this is located on the western side of the state like all the other good deals
Mule!!! @Specializedjon
Not out of the question. Just keep an eye on the classifieds. Sooner or later @Kimber45 will throw up some gun porn that I won't be able to ignore. Looks like I'll be swinging by Larry's to pick up a rifle while I'm out there.
Now y'all know why my 2022 truck has 60K miles on it
I also smuggle illegals BACK to Mexico for no additional charge

I don't know that's a good thing. Frog is in her late 70s, at least...

Older Kia Spectra (2005-09) happen to be a specialty of mine...
When we had our business we ran through 10 or 12 spectras. We always had four going at the same time for employees driving between 30,000 and 37,000 miles a year each and the wife and two kids each had one that was, we thought, reaching the end of their business life. The kids still have theirs and we still have ours so they last a long long time even after taken out of service. I paid $1,100 for a 2006 with 123k miles on it back in 2018. It had sat outside, wasn't used much and "needed $2,500 worth of repairs" per the dealership for the ac and an airbag light. I did the repairs for less than $125 (cabin air filter and a $69 part for the airbag issue - he admitted to zapping the sensor when he got the seat too wet while cleaning up the car) and the guy got his money to buy the mountain bike he wanted. And, yep, it came with a trailer hitch. It now has 180k miles and we just did the timing belt and radiator. In September it did 2,500 miles in 10 days of vacation from TN to OH to NY to CT to OH to TN. No problems, didn't need to add oil either.
Most of ours ran over 300k miles if you kept the timing belt up to date and changed out the timing belt pulley every 3rd timing belt change.
Other than the timing belt (yes, we lost one at 304k miles because the timing belt pulley broke- lesson learned), the only issues we ever had were replacing a radiator one time per car (2-3 hours labor if you don't do it for a living) and replacing the heat/ac blower fan (20 minutes - be sure to watch a video on how to do it, will save you a lot of aggravation). Never changed out a water pump, no trans, etc issues. An occasional junk yard alternator...per 200k miles.
They're so easy to work on that even I can do/have done the radiators and blower motors.
The hatchbacks are loaded with electric everything, have peppy motors, a sporty interior and get 28mpg up to 32 hwy. The driver seat is comfortable...never had any complaints from employees or family other than one employee was too short for any car so I bought her a booster seat. The cloth is more durable than a normal vehicle.
Oh, and you can fit a convenience store size ATM in the hatch with the seats down. (ATM not included.)

The passenger window issue can be repaired fairly easily on these. Remove the switch by gently prying it up (watch youtube video to see the pressure points), unplug the wire, spray electronic degunking fluid on the metal connectors on the back of the switch, let it soak in, move the switch back and forth several times to remove any gunk build up, plug it back in and test it (don't re-seat the part back into the door handle yet in case you have to replace the switch). If this doesn't fix it then a used one is $20-30 on the Ebay. $10 at the local junk yard.
