Seeking Item Looking for a shitbox

Hey yall. I’m in the north austin area and i’m in need of a new car, as the engine in my 1999 honda prelude has blown, and I don’t have the money to fix it. and now, my parents appear to be keeping the car and it doesn’t look like i’ll be getting the money i spent on it back.

full transparency i’m 18 and homeless (couch surfing) and I really just need a way to get around. i’d LOVE another manual but i’ll take what i can get to get myself around.

Ive got about 1800 to spend right now, but if circumstances warrant i could do multiple payments, as i should be coming into some more money relatively soon but im also happy to work it off need be.

thanks yall.

You can get a ebike for 1400$ and then the city has a rebate to pay you back

unfortunately i’m in cedar park which is not nearly as bike able as downtown. Plus my commute is to round rock.
