Re: First car?

I'd suggest a closer in - person examination . It says it drives good - that test drive might answer a lot of your questions ? I'm " assuming " it is close to your locale ? If not , I'd take the seller's evaluation of the cars condition with a little skepticism ! Also , if your experience with cars is very limited , I'd suggest taking someone with you that has some mechanical knowledge and experience . Good luck !

Re: First car?

I would not call it a fail, I just now read it. Ok I agree with the poster before me. I would also add that if you are mechanically inclined offer the seller $500 and see what he says. My first car had to be towed home lol, but two months later I was in business. If you don't like to get dirty or have no clue what you are doing under the hood I would pass. Just from appearance, it needs work. My personal feelings are that every teenage boy needs a good beater for his first car to get his hands dirty and learn. Good luck.

Re: First car?

Did you decide to buy the car? I tried to click the link and it said the ad is no longer available.
