If she links it it is going to be hard to reason her out of it because girls do not think like that. I think it could be a nice little loud car but take it to a trusted mechanic and see how much the front end is going to cost you along with whatever other bullcrap is wrong with it. It looks like one of those cars that has a fresh coat of paint over bondoed newspapers and rust that is torn up underneath. seen lots of those types. If it was prepped right and taken car of 1300 could be worth it, think if the owners kept it up well and the paintjob was not a hackjob go for it, but I doubt it was.

If its a 4cyl im sticking with honda incase i need parts. Other pieces of shit arent very common

A mechanic that was going to sell one of these to us said that the engines in these were made by Toyota. That would be a pro if he wasn't full of shit.

No, my cutlass where they made over 3 million cars just like it....not common at all.

From what i read, the engine is built by kia, but designed by mazda.

Perhaps....dunno.

I just wouldn't spend that much money on a POS...especially if it's a girl who doesn't want to work on it all the time. For me, it doesn't matter. I can drive my across the country....****** slipping and all.

This has to be a troll... $1300 for THAT? AND ITS BROKEN?

I would be hesitant to pay $100.

That is stupid unless it is for car audio only.

perfectly good working 96 jetta for even better gas mileage, needs a window regulator,
$1200

Window regulator issues are common on those jetta's. Nice car otherwise, but dammit parts are expensive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
