I have a 5 speed jetta I'm finishing up,  probably 1500, 01 150k fresh top end,  little beat up on the body,  headliner is tacked up

I can ask my brother if he still has his 94 dodge spirit. Was a daily driver up until about a month ago when he bought a new passat. It has a fully rebuilt/converted AC system that blows cold, new tires, new struts, recent alignment (I did all the work...for better or worse). It needed a cat and wouldn't pass hamilton county emissions sniff test but the car I think had like 110k on the clock. I think he was asking $600. Body was pretty beat, interior was really nice but like I said I haven't talked to him in a few weeks so I don't know if he still has it. If that sounds like something your friend would be interested in let me know and I'll give my brother a call.

Gee whiz Zen, why would someone think you know anything about cheap and dependable transportation?!?

Travis, he might be interested in the Jetta.  He said his son wanted an automatic, but he's going to talk to him about it and see if he will settle for a manual.  I'll let you know when I hear back from him.

Yeah...avoid automatics from that era. Not only will learning a manual be a useful skill, it'll be better on gas mileage and you won't have to worry about expensive transmission repairs.

I have some broken transportation,  camry need engine,  saab 900 needs 2nd gear, rx7 needs oil drip pan under oil leak,  and Stupie, who needs love and attention.

Never tried uber but the folks in atl had good things to say about it,  can you imagine if stupie was your uber ride?
