Trust Ian @Jacob he's a car whisperer
I feel like for that price I might as well
but I probably won't
You'll spend what you're saving on the transmission is my guess
I mean, a running driving car for 500 is always a decent deal, but Kia was a rough brand 17 years ago.
Based on what @Papa Pizzagate is saying
if it breaks I could sell it for parts
you probably don't want to part it
@Papa Pizzagate to answer your earlier question about hobbies. I canoe, backpack, nordic ski and dogsled often.
it would take a yard and a lot of time
They had so-so engines and terrible transmissions, but given it's a manual that's one issue eliminated.
I'd just sell the whole thing and someone could use it for parts
you may be able to auction it off or have a junk yard take it
Evan is right, you'd sell it to a scrap yard for like $150, best case scenerio.
exactly
someone else will part
it
anyway all of this is probably a moot point since I'm probably not gonna end up buying any car any time soon
Well let me know when you're ready to buy. Bring me a budget and what kind of vehicle you want. I've gotten some incredible deals on craigslist for myself, friends and family.
make sure if you go on craigslist to post a similar car but for slightly less
the other person selling will see that as if thats what they sell for
@Papa Pizzagate oh I'm ready, I'm just tired of being borderline emotionally abused by my parents every time I try to make a decision they don't like
Holy smokes @Evan that is too clever!
so I usually do what they say so they calm down

@Freiheit - CA I want to stop breaking my back and making multiple trips a week to buy groceries
Just get one of those chinese lady grocery strollers.
@Jacob Carabiner
sounds like your life will improve drastically with a car. Just get one even if you have to pick up a few a hours a week
Yeah, do you have a bus stop nearby? @Jacob I used panniers on my bicycle for months before I got my motorcycle.
yes
it's still a pain in the ass
Get a cart
@Evan my quality of life will probably decrease when you factor in the extra harassment from my parents
Two big carabiners
I haven't owned a car since 2014 - it has saved me a lot of money just relying on public transit
Yesterday my mom called me 4 times in the span of like 30 minutes to yell at me about how I caused their divorce and I'm literally giving her health problems... because I considered buying a car
Ask your parents for a ride then.
Oh...nvm
