it better last you 5 or more years! 2600 plus another 300 in upcoming repairs, bring you to 2900, divide by 60 months, cost you about 48 bucks a month to drive.
Buying an older car is ok, but you really need to know the service history and driver habits... thats key. My vehicle was driven exclusively by the mother of an auto recycler. I got the car with over 200,000 kms on it, and I've had it for a little over a year now, and put maybe 300 in total into it. It is the best car I have ever owned. Nothing needs attention at all!
