Re: Buying a old car as a first car
If you're dead-set on getting a classic as your first car, I'm sure you will be able to find one that will get you around and it would be fun to have the classic looks of the car. As far as repairs, you won't find one that is 'maintenance free' - keep in mind you're buying something 30-40 years old! And unless you're forking out $30-50K for a restored model, that means lots of the parts are likely to be original. If you're not handy with a wrench or don't have a passion for a project car, I would suggest you wait until you can afford the Cutlass as a second car. Even if you get something cheap as a primary driver and spend the rest on a Cutlass, at least then you'd have something 21'st century that you can count on to start in the morning. You know all those classifieds saying 'project car - no time to finish' - yep, it all started this way...
