But the problem is you can technically buy a car for $1,500, but will it last through the winter? My $1,000 Jeep didn't, it died about 5 times. Sunk $2k (doing the work myself) into it and sold it for $700. What a nightmare. Ended up deciding to spend $5.3k on my Subaru, and i still had an issue with it that resulted in me driving the Z for a week in Jan. The axle popped out slightly and it felt like the clutch was slipping, clutch has 83k on it so i spent 9 hrs replacing it with a friend late one Fri night...come to find out that wasn't the prob -.-. If you find something you know is reliable then go for it, but its hard to know...second the temp drops into the teens everything starts breaking.
Driving the Z to work in 15 deg temps...accelerated on the on-ramp and the back end swings out, nice method of waking me up early in the morning
