93 Toyota Corolla- To Buy or Not To Buy?

I' am looking to purchase a 93 Toyota Corolla with 150,000 mi k. The owner is asking $1,999 and is firm on the price. She said she would like to wait a couple of weeks before nego., being she just place the ad two days ago. The car is in good condition and has clean interior, the car could also use a paint job. Opinions?

You dont get much for 2 grand today, test drive the vehicle same way I did for 30 years http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html if you feel the Corolla passed your test, then make deal subject to an independent mechanical inspection of your choice. cost you a few bucks, but its peace of mind

When you get feed back from mechanic, anything less than $500. to make corolla perfect, you got a good investment, and the odds are your vehicle will go beyond 2 years with no major problems at which point your investment will have been secured
