Ok I have 1100 saved and I found this http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/car/552226534.html

I really thinking about talking to my dad about it. If I gave him the money and he can buy it.

But I need some people to tell me if that is a good deal or not.


PS i am 13 so do not know mach yet

ESmorz

A: are you for real... 13?
B: no, it's a beater. Especially if you're 13 and know absolutely nothing about cars.

1994Boy

A:Yes I am
B:I do know thing about cars, Also by the time i can drive it would run. The body i do not care about.

ESmorz

Why not... worry about getting a car when you are actually old enough to drive it?

By then you could afford something a little better as well.

ThatGuy

Then what exactly are you asking?

If you don't care about the body and have at least 3 years to devote to making the engine run, you can buy pretty much any piece of crap car.

You're 13. Go ride your bike.

Save your money until you're older and buy something decent.

ESmorz

Stop thinking so much, go buy some video games and a little motorcycle.

3 years of not being able to drive your baby, would make you hang yourself anyways.

HAHAHa some one think they have jokes.



Any way but what i was thinking is why should i buy some nice running good. When i can buy this and work on it and have fun. Got to learn some where

Pank

HAHAHa someone think they is good at english.

If you only have 1100, do you think the parts to fix the car are going to be free?
That car looks like a huge peice. Save up more, buy a NICER CAR, and then you can have a BETTER CAR to start from.


Also, 1100 dollars for that car is a huge ripoff

Thanks that is all i asked people but no someone, TRYING to be funny

Pank

yea i'm, sorry for, that.

also, i bought an s14 for 2,500 bucks, if you save up, you can have a better car. plus you have 3 years, so you should be able to get a nice little ride if you keep saving.

Maybe if you read it says he is asking 800.

Pank

I find humor in a barely literate teeny bopper telling me i cant read.
PC Gamer Protip: You will spend more than 1100 dollars getting that car to not look like hot garbage, and thats if it doesn't have frame damage.

Seriously.

Your 13. I mean mad props for wanting to do this, but just keep on saving your money until your able to drive and then by that time you'll be able to buy a better condition car.

Or you might change your mind by then.

Shit, kids these days. I think I was just happy riding around my bike at age 13. I didn't even think about cars.

jeeper_x

this esmorz guy told you it was a beater in the second post...

what the hell is wrong with you?

for 800 its a rip off.

Im not gonna flame like others ( neg reps ) because i actually admire what you are doing.

you have a solid plan set out, buy a cheap car and you have 3 years to fix it. Working on it with other people to show you will teach you a lot so you will learn a lot about cars as the time goes by.

But you gotta worry about the body too not that it just runs.

Good luck young brotha

i personally would offer $500. and make damn sure that the frame isn't bent. hell i wish i had been interested in cars when i was 13, i'd be a way better mechanic than i am now. but buying someone elses effed up project car isn't just jumping into the deep end, its tying a cinder block to your ankle and jumping into the middle of the pacific. if you haven't got a ton of mechanical experience (or someone who is a really really REALLY good mechanic to walk you through just about EVERYTHING) then this is probably going to be too much for you as a beginner. but, don't let us discourage you. it's your $ and your dream.

Kid, what part of Pennsylvania are you in? You can't if even complete a whole sentence properly, and I don't recall Pa's education system being THAT POOR. I grew up in Pa and "I are nowing hoe to speek gud".
