First, give the dealer $3000 - $3500 for the car. If he won't let you have it for that price, there is nothing to worry about... Second, if you get the car (no matter the price) be ready to pay a lot of money for repairs and especially for parts, that is, if they are available. So, if you can get the car for say $3000 - $3500, don't worry about the second part :) "Bubba" <young321nospamsouth.net> wrote in message news:gIfAi.27689$U24.4729nospamews5.bellsouth.net... > We are looking for a first car for our 18-year-old son.
