If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Personally I would shy away from that one. If you do look at it take it for a LONG ride.My guess is that car has alot of bondo in it and would look real hard at unibody intergrity. Times are tough, alot of people are looking to dump there toys/projects, be patient.

couldnt say it any better myself. It is definately a buyers market if you know what your looking for. 1500 isnt a whole lot but its a start, but trust me i know what its like trying to save money in college. Take your time and look around, i have seen a few nice deals come up in the past few months due to economic situations. The market is falling hard, 5pts aways from hitting the 7,xxxpts mark. which is pretty bad considering it fell over a 1,000 pts in the past 2.5 weeks. just give it some more time and keep your eyes open on vehix, craigslist, and local ebay adds. check em out and anybody on here is willing to give advice on a car if you have the details.
