Used 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier for Sale

I first purchased my car in 2011, and was impressed by the interior. It is a fully old school car: manual lock, manual windows, and a cassette deck that I had to scramble to find cassettes for (a very nostalgic activity). The seats are a durable material that withheld a few water stains here and there, and the trunk had a great capacity to cart me to and from an out of state college. The controls are easy to figure out and are not complicated at all - I had all of them figured out in about five minutes when I first slipped behind the wheel.

I bought my 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier about six years ago. I had recently got into an accident at the time, and I was in need of a new vehicle. At the time, I was in high school, and I just needed a car that could get me from point A to point B with no problems. I looked at a few local dealerships and finally ended up at a credit union dealer. Most of their cars were a little out of my price range, and by a little, I mean $15k out of my price range. But they did have a few options. There was a really beat-up older Nissan Maxima, but the condition it was in was grotesque. Next to that, there was a very nice-looking Jaguar (I can't remember the model name), but from all the research I did, Jaguars were insanely expensive to fix when they broke down, and they broke down a lot. Finally, there was a nice Chevrolet Cavalier, four doors, clean interior, relatively low miles, and for the price, it was a good deal, so I took it. It was my daily driver for about a year. There was not a single issue with the car, other than the A/C was off and on, but I was a teenager driving a four cylinder. I was craving more power even though I didn't need it. One day, the car needed an oil change. I've done plenty of oil changes before this and at least two on this particular car before. I'm certain I did everything correctly. I mean it doesn't take a genius to change a car's oil, but alas, after just a few miles on the road, the engine seized. I had a big problem on my hand. I took it to a mechanic to get an estimate, but the cost to fix it would be around $3k, so I ended up parting with the car. For that year, it was a good car, and I do miss it every now and again.

I absolutely love my little Cavalier! The size is a perfect compact with enough room for comfort. So far it has over 150,000 miles on it and still runs like a champ. The gas mileage is absolutely fantastic! I put in about 20 dollars worth of gas (at about 2 dollars a gallon) and it'll last me the month of work and errands. It only took 2 tanks to make a road trip from St. Paul, Minnesota to Aurora, CO. When I bought the car it had some exterior damage, yet still looks great. The interior is cozy and neat. Sometimes my car will die randomly, but usually when the gas is too low, so not sure if that's for every Chevrolet Cavalier. Other than that most aspects of the car are pleasing to me, both interior and exterior. It can comfortably fit 5 people. The trunk is actually pretty large in comparison to the rest of the car and can fit all of our camping necessities; fire wood, the tent, air mattresses, blankets and pillows, food, cooking supplies, towels, chairs, cooler, and so on. This usually includes the backseat too, but seriously, such an amazing amount of storage for this adorable compact car.
