Should I Buy this Car.
 

I am a poor student, that needs a reliable car.

I drive to school, work, other work, and back which in total equals about 60 miles a day. I need a car with a good fuel economy, and one that requires little maintenance or maintenance I can do myself. I doesn't rain that often, but when it does it rains hard so I'll need a car that preforms decently in the rain.

A co-worker wants to sell his 1971 Beetle. He said he would go as low as $2500. It has a rebuilt engine and transmission, I going to test drive it today, but thats about all I know.

What should I expect from this car? What kind of questions should I ask?
Also I was recommended this book as well.

[IMG][/IMG]Don't buy this car if your looking for cheap transportation. It will only get about 22 miles per gallon on the highway. I used to own one! maybe 25 if you drive like an old lady. SPEND your money wisely and geta Honda or used Prelude. Another nice car would be a 1998 Stratus with under 125,000

Well, you could also consider the diesel cars...no hp, they get great mileage! Diesel is also cheaper here at the moment, so depends on your area.
