lets say i wanted to buy a charger that runs, but needs work and can be used as a daily driver, what would the $ be?

 

Depending on condition, you're looking at 1k to 4k. Also you have to look at years too, the older, the more expensive. You also have to reason in whether it's an R/T or not.

 

I picked up mine for $1500. At the time, it ran and had very little rust, but I put a ton of time and money into it.

a word to the wise, spend $1000 on a POS civic and dont worry about finding a charger that runs. To buy a charger that is a reliable daily driver is completely different than finding one that just runs, and unfortunately more expensive, I would say look at spending close to 5k for one that is reliable.
