I'm really truly seriously thinking about selling my Explorer for whatever I can get for it and buying a cheap economical car... I'm spending a whole lot of money that I usually don't have on gas, and so far I have $0 saved for college, leaving me with 8 months to save the $1500 I want to have for spending money my first year, so I don't have to work... plus books and other stuff that loans don't typically cover.
SO I was looking through the local auto-rag today and went and looked at some cars with my dad (he ended up buying himself an 88 Chrysler New Yorker, ghetto pimp car). At one of the lots we went to, the lady tried to sell the poor guy a Kia, but I couldn't hold it in anymore when she asked for my opinion and I said the car is garbage and I couldn't allow my father to waste $1500 on it
Should've seen the look on her face
ANYWAY... The same lot has an 89 Probe for $1199. It looks good enough, I should've asked to start it. Interior looks good, it's dark grey with dark tinted windows, and I didn't see any body issues... My friend had an 89 that he beat the crap out of till it died and said he'd get another one, and I liked his car too, and he got pretty good gas mileage with the 4 cyl engine...
But anyway, does anyone here know anything about Probes? I'm thinking I'll go by the lot tomorrow and see if I can drive it, and go from there... I want to know of any issues that I should look out for... and stuff...
Thanks
