Older Cars

[Karen]

Before you buy any older car, check the carfax to make sure it wasn't a flood recovered car, etc., and make sure you have a trusted mechanic check it over completely and tell you what issues you are likely to face in terms of future expenses. I am not cure how old a car has to be to be insured as a :classic," and there may be mileage limitations - insurance things vary state to state, so again, find a trusted insurance agent to deal with.

I too find it suspect. That only works out to 30 miles a week over the 25 years. I think that's really unlikely. You can get a newer car for $7.0. I JUST made my last payment on my 2005 Saturn and it's a relief to OWN my car! I think between car payments and repairs you'll regret it. I'm sort of paranoid about getting "stuck" with a car in some far location so reliability is a must and I'd be nervous with this one.

Gorgeous looking car. I was about to say, as a young driver, how would you cope with it? Then I remembered that American road systems are so much more forgiving than our higgledy-piggledy, older roads! My goodness, I have trouble manoeuvring a little Renault about where I live.

How much would you be looking at to insure it? I drive my mum's Ford when she's not using it and my insurance was ridiculous. Sadly got to thank so many people my age driving like maniacs and smashing into things for that.

Hope you find a car to suit you soon.
