Don't buy it, especially if it hasn't been driven for a year. I have an '87 rx7 with 250,000 miles and i love my car, but if that car only has 150000 miles on it and it has that many problems its not worth it. Obviously it was not well taken care of and there might even be some underlying problems you or even the seller might not know about. I bought mine for 900 and it has a rebuilt engine and was moderately well taken care of. Just take your time and look for a better deal. Rebuilds can easily reach $2000.
BTW: I am also 16, and bought from a close neighbor. Insurance is around $130 for me only with comprehensive. If you do buy it and get a rebuild, make sure you TAKE CARE OF IT. Check the oil every time you fill up on gas and make sure you warm it up for several minutes after you start it up and also let it cool down before you shut it off. Rotory engines burn oil every time you start them up and warm up is a very important aspect. Don't let your dad or anyone else tell you that's unnessecary. If you follow these basic guidlines, your car should last you a long time.
