I'm looking for a car...I'm gonna need some method of transportation come summer. It's annoying enough to not have a car in the year, but when I don't have school to keep me busy, I'm going to be very, very unhappy if I don't have one.

Are you looking for a used, or a new one, Gwai?

With a student's budget, it will have to be a used one. Unless Gwai has a stash of gold he hasn't told us about....
*takes the poffered cheese stick and snacks on it* Why thank you Naughty!

No problem. They really are (or were rather) delicious. Just got back from a poor man's food run: beef jerky and Dr. Pepper.
Life is good.

An old car you fix costs more than a new car that runs.

True enough, but most people dont go out and shop for crap on purpose. If you know what you are looking for and have a basic idea about mechanics, chances are you wont be saddled with a lemon.

Could be debated.

By a very slim margine. Not saying it can't happen, but if you know what you're about, and more importantly know what the car is about, you shouldn't run into any problem. That and if you have a good reliable mechanic to ordain it, you're more or less good to go.
It could also be argued that you can be saddled with a lemon the moment you roll off the dealership lot. THAT can most certainly be argued for.

Good points all around, Sane.
The lemon thing.....definately a point to be argured. Especially when the door comes loose on the fly and the dashboard starts bubbling.

Wow, how'd it manage to do that?
Hey, what can I say, lemons come from all countries when it comes to cars. Glad to hear you got compensated though. My acura is a dream. Or...it would be if my brother would stop damaging it... Poor thing.

I really dont know. We were driving down the road and the door seal flew off on both sides, then the door rattled loose, and the dash boiled. I was a little scared.
What does your brother do to your car?

Runs it into the ground, doesn't add or change oil, lets it overheat in summer...tears out the interior to try and rewire everything and fit in huge stereo system....
