For some reason I bought another one. I did much better than I did with my first Geo.

Here's what the seller had to say:
"For sale 1994 Geo Metro 3-cyl with manual transmission. This car has been my daily driver for a year now, and I was getting 50mpg out of it. The head gasket has blown, and I don't have the time to fix it. This would be a great car to get running again and use as a work car or a first car for someone wanting to learn how to drive a manual.

The car has a brand new radiator, plugs, wires, cap, timing belt, water pump, and brakes. The shocks for the back hatch were replaced a year ago and work perfect. The tires still have a lot of life left on them.

The instrument panel is not original. The original one was replaced because it didn't have a tachometer on it. The one in it now does. The odometer reads 176k, but that isn't accurate. The car originally had a/c, but it has since been removed."

Here is one of the seller's pictures:

I'll post more pics on a bit.

I'm not sure what's up with the engine but it sounds really smooth. I didn't take it for much of a test drive but it at least makes all the gears and moves under its own power. I'm not convinced the head gasket is the problem unless he overheated it Previously. I'm hoping the cooling system just needs burped. But head gasket wouldn't be too bad either.

Also, the passenger marker light and bumper are damaged due to deer collision. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Wow, hatch struts that actually work. Don't think I've ever purchased a Metro with working struts. Nice find.

Finally got back home to transfer the title and get it registered. I'm kind of thinking I want to make it my daily driver since it's so damn nice. But we'll see. I snapped a few pics of it that are better than the craigslist ones.Posted Image

The AC work? I see the switch.

One thing about the 4 doors, I have a tendency to hit myself on the door jamb or hit my ribs on the corner of the top of the open door, no idea why but only the 4 door :rofl
